Abstract: There is disclosed a tape measuring device with a housing and a spool mounted within the housing. A flexible measuring tape is mounted to the spool such that tape winds onto the spool during retraction thereof in a first direction and is extensible from the housing by winding of the spool in an opposing direction. The tape has measurement indicia thereon and a window in the housing permits the measurement indicia to be viewed externally to the housing through the window. The window provided on a first side of the housing and a guide provided within the housing to deflect the tape extending from the spool in a direction away from the first side of the housing and toward a second, opposing side of the housing. The tape measuring device can be used to take a length measurement both from the opening and also from an end wall of the housing.
