ABSTRACT:
A spring powered coilable rule has a coilable metal tape with a tape hook at the end thereof. The tape hook has an elongated body portion extending along the surface of the tape a length greater than the width of the tape and a depending leg portion which has an upper end dimensioned and configured to overlie the outer edge of the tape in its uncoiled state. The body portion tapers in width from the leg portion to a reduced width, and at least three rivets are spaced axially along the length of the body portion to secure the tape hook to the tape.
