Tape tip (US model - metric version coming soon)

Two tiny rare-earth magnets secure the tip to an ordinary tape measure. To check for squareness, woodworkers measure from corner to corner on opposite sides and make sure the measurement is exactly the same. If you need to measure from the inside corners, the angled tip of the “boss” on the bottom of the tool fits tightly into the corner and doesn’t pop out, making it much easier for you to get an accurate measurement—just be sure to add 1″. If you can measure from outside corners, the other end of the “boss” catches the corner exactly, creating a much more secure and accurate grip than the straight tip of a tape measure.

It is also useful when measuring to or from any angled piece. If you use the top angled tip to measure an angle less than or greater than 90°, add 1 & 1/2″.

The tool also can be used as a marking gauge. A pencil fits securely in the notched end (opposite of the angled tip). If you drive a #6 (#8 might be a bit too tight?) screw part of the way through the moulded hole, you can use the tool as a compass. And if you are measuring over a great distance, you can add a screw to the moulded hole to act as an extra hand securing the end of the tape measure.
