ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a universal tape measure jacket with dual retractable marking means capabilities. The universal tape jacket with dual marking means when retrofit over conventional tape measures creates an affordable measure and marking system. The tape locking means on most conventional tape measures could also be modified to be able to link with either/or of the retractable marking means on the universal tape jacket; thus, the user has the option to lock the tape coil into a fixed position and then manually engage one or both of the dual markers independent of the tapes locking means or when linked with one or more of the retractable markers, make them work in conjunction with the tape measures locking means. The versatility of this combination offers a measure and marking system that can perform various combinations involving measuring and marking without hindering or effecting any of the other various operations that may be necessary to perform with the tape measure under a variety of circumstances.
