I remember seeing this add on measuring tool a few years ago.
Loren's pex is as simple and inexpensive as it gets.
I'm fussy too, for 2 reasons, first is I use a Lockhart log grip, to move most of the blocks, it only handles, 15"-18" blocks, (they come in 3 sizes) TSC now has a foreign knock off of this tool. 2nd reason is that I stack and some of the stacks are tall single stacks for quicker seasoning, I'm on a hill and I use the wind to my advantage. Each of these stacks hold 2/3 of a cord at 16".
I can eyeball 16" well enough, for smaller diameter wood, I don't fuss as much. I have been laying a tape measure out on top of the larger logs, then mark with the chainsaw, then cut. I have a section of a broken tape measure like you too LOL, good use for one when they break.
One thing I do try and avoid is making short pieces, they are a pain to handle, well I'll have some bins or wood boxes eventually. So when I cut logs for towing or otherwise, I'll measure out to a good place to cut so I get as many 16" 's as I can, and not make shorts by just guessing where to cut.
Picked up my steel for my rear lift top link mast, once this 3 pt lift is done, I can buck/block all logs off the ground at comfortable work heights.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
