Professional Drywall Measuring Tape

This enhanced measuring tape is specifically designed for use in the construction industry, to make drywall cutting, using professional techniques, easier, more accurate, and to reduce the risk of damage to hands. Essentially the additional piece acts as a guard for the index finger when sliding along a workpiece. This piece can be static or dynamic(moving in and out of the body of the measuring tape). Pinching the measuring tape against the added piece creates a more stable brace, which holds, more firmly the desired measurement. Given the barrier that the piece creates, it protects the index finger of the user from abrading on the workpiece.
