Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a housing having an opening; a measuring tape disposed within the housing, wherein the measuring tape is retractably extendable from the housing via the opening; and a goniometer pivotably secured to the housing, wherein the goniometer comprises: an elongated arm having a proximal end pivotably secured to the housing and a distal free end, wherein the arm is rotatable about a first axis within a range of angular positions; angle scale indicia disposed on the housing; and a pointer extending from the housing adjacent the angle scale indicia and rotatable about a second axis, wherein the pointer is operably connected with the arm such that pivotal movement of the arm causes rotational movement of the pointer such that the pointer indicates angular displacement of the arm via the angle scale indicia, and wherein the arm and pointer are operably connected via a series of interconnected gears.
