A measuring tool includes outer and inner tubes. The outer tube telescopically receives the inner tube. Marking indicia are provided on the tubes for measuring a distance between objects. Each tube includes feet for abutting a respective object or anchoring a respective tube end. A measuring method comprises the steps of providing a measuring tool with outer and inner tubes each having a respective end mounting a foot. The measuring tool is placed between objects with each foot engaging a respective object. The measuring tool is telescopically adjusted to determine the distance between the objects.

A fish measurement device including a rigid bump board in combination with a slidably engageable assembly and a method for verification of fish measurement when using the device. The assembly design having the capability to mount the board to an underlying support surface as well as provide a user identifier for use in fishing tournaments.

A marking gun having a marker container, a propellant canister, a supply tube, an expulsion chamber, and an attachment coupled to the expulsion chamber. The marker container is coupled to the expulsion chamber by the supply tube, and the propellant canister is coupled to the expulsion chamber. The marking gun is configured to expel the marker from the expulsion chamber. The attachment comprises a stencil, an elastic pointed tip, a housing, a screen, a magnet, one or more entry holes, or a combination thereof.

The disclosure presents templates that can be useful in construction. Embodiments of the templates include a face, and two or more indicators. The indicators are located at one or more predetermined intervals on the face, and each indicator defines a window. Each window is of a predetermined length, and each indicator is coded to indicate that each indicator is located at one of the one or more predetermined intervals.

A length selectable spirit level and measurement device for simultaneous measurement and leveling includes a first bar and a second bar. The first bar has a channel positioned therethrough, which extends between opposed ends thereof. A pair of slats positioned in the channel is slidably engaged to the first bar and thus selectively extensible therefrom. Respective indicia of a plurality of indicia coupled to the slats are alignable with a pair of points to measures a distance between the points. The second bar has a set of orifices positioned therethrough, each of which has a spirit bubble tube positioned therein and coupled to the second bar. The spirit bubble tube indicates an orientation of a longitudinal axis of the second bar relative to horizontal. The first bar is selectively engageable to the second bar so that the slats are selectively extensible in parallel with the longitudinal axis.
