ABSTRACT:
An improved measuring, marking, and cutting tool comprising a tape measuring device within a housing which contains a guide and brake, and a pencil/knife holding attachment affixed to the distal end of the extensible, flexible measuring tape. The guide is a rigid, straight structure running along the bottom of the housing, and provides for a method of smoothly following along the straight edge of a workpiece, thereby facilitating long, straight, perpendicular marks or cuts. The brake mechanism is engaged by the guide structure, allowing the user to engage the brake and fix the measuring length of the tape by merely pushing down on the housing. The pencil/knife holding attachment is comprised of two Velcro (.TM.) straps that can be wrapped around and affixed to a standard pen, pencil, utility knife, and the like.
