Hand tools introduction - Measuring tools: tape measure, caliper, and square ruler

Measuring tools are essential for every project, ensuring precision in all types of tasks. Among the most commonly used measuring tools are the tape measure, caliper, and square, which are indispensable for accurate measurements.

Measuring tools: usage

A tape measure allows for quick and easy measurement of longer distances, while a caliper is ideal for precise measurements in mechanics and carpentry. The square ruler is a tool used to measure right angles, essential in woodworking.

Measuring tool: tape measure

A tape measure is used traditionally to measure lengths. It is employed across various trades like construction and technical fields. The tape is housed in a durable case, which makes rewinding the tape into the case easy after use. A special hook is typically attached to the tape's end, providing stability during measurement.

Measuring tool: Laser tape measure from POPAR

The laser tape measure is used for accurately determining the length of various objects or surfaces. It can measure distances up to 40 meters with a high-performance laser sensor, ensuring an accuracy of up to 3mm. It's easy to use with a clear display, showing measurements, and it has an auto-off function after 15 seconds, saving battery life.

Measuring tool: Tape measure with window from POPAR

A tape measure with a window is used for precise measurement of different objects or surfaces and reading internal measurements.

Measuring tool: caliper

A caliper is a basic measuring tool, mainly used in woodworking. Precision is achieved by sliding the caliper to measure lengths, diameters, and depths with an accuracy of up to a tenth of a millimeter. It has a main scale and a sliding part with a vernier scale, which allows reading values smaller than the main scale divisions. Calipers can also come with a digital display.

Measuring tool: carpenter's square ruler

A carpenter's square ruler is a tool used in carpentry and woodworking workshops to mark right angles. Holes in the square allow for easier attachment and marking of holes. The measuring tape has a millimeter scale with marking holes spaced 5mm apart.
