Using standard hand tools
- The first tools I'd like to discuss are hand tools. Primarily because they are very readily available and chances are you have some at home right now. There are so many different tools to choose from such as calipers, micrometers, a variety of gauges and all sorts of additional measuring tools. Some of these tools have been employed for thousands of years, all the way back to when the great pyramids were constructed and even before. But in this day we have so many new ways to measure things. Also, most of these can be had at a very affordable cost. Keep in mind though, the more precise and accurate you want them to be, the costs will go up. As an example, finely tuned micrometers are going to be more expensive as the level of accuracy goes up. This is because they are made of better materials and better manufacturing methods. Here, you can see these micrometers measure out to the fourth decimal place in inches. The slightest bit of error in these will lead to bad measurements. Same…
