Abstract: A measuring tape 50 for making precision measurements with the use of one hand comprising a precision unit is disclosed. The precision unit has a back surface, a side surface, a bottom surface, which is constructed from clear or see through material and includes an indicator line. The precision unit further includes a marker housing part, which, in the preferred embodiment, is interchangeable with the side surface to allow for individual preferences. In an alternative embodiment the side surface may be replaced by a second marker housing part to allow for two marks to be made at the same time. The marker housing part includes a marker and a marker hold/release part to allow the marker to slide in and out of the marker housing part.
