The retractable measuring tape comprises a plurality of uniformly spaced primary markings. A secondary scale can be coupled to the tape measure, where the secondary scale includes a plurality of uniformly spaced secondary markings. The distance between adjacent secondary markings can be less than a distance between adjacent primary markings. In some instances, the distance between adjacent secondary markings is set to be equal to 9/10th of the distance between adjacent primary markings.
