Abstract:
1. A tape measure caliper extender, comprising: an extender body for use with a tape blade, the extender body including an alignment clip situated on a first side of the extender body by the first end of the extender body, and an attachment clip situated on a second side of the extender body opposite the alignment clip, wherein, when the attachment clip is flexed and one edge of a tape measure blade is inserted under the alignment clip, a second edge of the tape measure blade clears the attachment clip such that the extender body is removably attachable to the tape blade, and wherein, when the attachment clip is unflexed after insertion, the alignment clip and the attachment clip hold the blade tightly enough to prevent the blade from moving vertically with respect to the body and loosely enough to allow the blade to move horizontally with respect to the body in a direction parallel to the extender body; and
