A hand-held tool for spacing clapboards that includes a speed square tongue located in the top center of the device. This feature allows a user to quickly and accurately transfer both horizontal and vertical lines, revealing material to be removed around doors and windows. There is a trigger mounted on the ergonomic handle that both locks the tongue in place for transferring horizontal lines, and releases the tongue for transferring vertical lines. Two trays are adjustable in increments that use pull pins under the trays. The trays can be adjusted for any board up to 10 in height. Desired overlap is achieved by adjusting the position of the bottom tray as desired. Finally a ruler is provided along the side of the tool. A second model that has no handle is also taught.

The invention pertains to a spirit level (10) comprising a base body (12) with a first measuring sole (52) and a runner element (14) with a second measuring sole (54), being connected to the latter and able to move relative to it in its longitudinal direction, wherein the first and the second measuring sole run at the same level. In order to accomplish a low-friction displacement, it is provided that a first sliding element (26) emerges from the base body (12), which interacts by form fitting with the runner element (14) for a section and applies force to it in or approximately in the normal direction of the measuring soles (52, 54), and a second sliding element (28) emerges from the runner, which interacts by form fitting with the base body for a section and applies force to the runner element in or approximately in the direction of the measuring soles.

An electrical measuring device including an elongated member. The elongated member is at least 52 inches in length. There is at least one fastening strap located at a top end of the elongated member. The strap can secure the elongated member in an upright manner when not in use. There is a plurality of indicia located on the elongated member. The indicia display various measurements that correspond to specific heights of electrical implements. Specifically, the indicia specify heights for outlets and switches. The elongated member can further have various colors disposed thereon. The colors align with the different indicia.

The invention is a tool for measuring the distance and angle between two points on two surfaces to measure position of the points and surfaces relative to one another to provide the user with angle and distance measurements which fully define the relationship between the surfaces and points without additional calculations.

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.

The telescopic measuring device is a tool that enables a user to measure distances that might otherwise be beyond their reach. A measuring blade contained within a housing may be extended until a wear block at one end of the telescopic measuring device and an end hook at the other and of the telescopic measuring device span the distance to be measured. The measuring blade may then be locked into position using a clocking clamp and the measured distance may be read through a sighting window where a sight line will align with measurement indicia on the measuring blade.

The present disclosure relates to a space and dimension determining device, which is useful for placement, mounting, hanging and leveling a picture, shelving, or any other object onto a receiving surface. The present device is capable of locking into position capturing the dimensions and allowing for measureless transfer of dimensions from one place to another. The present disclosure further relates to a device incorporating a laser, either as part of, or a separate, attachable feature to, the present device, the laser being useful for assisting in determining center points, and a plurality of dimensions and readings equal distance from the center point. The present disclosure also relates to a system and method of transferring dimensions from a space determining device to an electronic communication device, which is used to create a template for placement of an item or items within a target space.
