Abstract

A tape measure that incorporates a marking device for allowing an individual to measure and mark a wide variety of materials in a more efficient and economical manner, and for measuring and marking the beginning point of reference and the measured position point simultaneously. The tape measure has a housing (20), a coiled measuring tape (40), a tape tip (60), and a marker having a marking wheel mounted on an axle (82).
