An endpiece for attachment at the end of a tape measure tape. A cross curvature tape measure supports its own weight when it is extended horizontally and is held in an upright position. A perpendicular hook at the end of the tape measure tape can be used to secure the end of the tape measure tape to an edge of an object. A hook that extends above the curved surface of the tape measure tape allows measurements to be secured from below an object while maintaining the upright and self supporting position of the tape. An adhering or magnetic means attached at the end of the tape measure tape further assists in allowing measurements to be taken without causing the incidental collapse of the tape measure tape. Such an endpiece may be removably attached, and may be adapted to fit on existing tape measures.
