ABSTRACT:
A straight edge device for use with a conventional tape measure having an extensible tape. The straight edge device comprises a perimeter molding, a straight edge device, and an edge guide. The perimeter molding abuts perimeter surfaces on the tape measure and supports the straight edge and edge guide. The edge guide is adapted to abut a first surface on an object and align the straight edge a predetermined angle from the first surface. The straight edge may then be used to mark a line on a second surface of the object. An angle scale may also be provided for indicating a variety of angles to which the straight edge may be positioned relative to the first surface. One or more clip tabs may be provided for attaching the straight edge device to the tape measure.
