A tape measure is an extremely great tool for measuring the dimensions of a number of things, like clothes, room, home furniture, width and length of an individual, and so on. It's very useful for students when they are working on some school or college assignment. To get the correct measurements with a tape measure, it's very important to understand what the different numbers and lines on a measuring tape stand for.
The tape measure is one of the most frequently used tools in the carpenter's tool bag, if not the most frequently utilized device. The tape measure comes out before the carpenter's work really gets going during the planning and drawing phase. Regardless of whether you are going to install a brand new stud wall, create a brace for a shelf, hang up a photo or cut inlays for a table you're making, you will likely draw the tape measure from your toolbox before anything else. The committed do-it-yourself, such as the professional carpenter, will have several tape measures in his toolbox. The most useful tape measures for a carpenter in his toolbox are: a 6' retractable measuring tape; a 16' retractable tape measure; a 25' retractable tape measure; a folding carpenter's ruler. There is also 100' tape measure which is very helpful when squaring large projects such as deck and foundations.
Retractable tape measure, auto measuring tape and tape measure have all become terms making reference to the various measuring tools which can be unwound from out of a small case. The actual ruler portion of the tape measure can then either be locked into a specific position, or allowed to instantly retract itself back in the case. They're quite innovative, really convenient, handy and also lightweight. However they do have one characteristic which can allow for an issue.
Retractable tape measure has got a small, 90 angled piece of metal connected to the very end. This wonderful little piece of metal makes it possible for the carpenter to accurately measure all alone. The angled metal is hooked over a board and the measuring tape is extended. If the angled metal was not present, then the carpenter would need to figure a way to get the end of the measuring tape to stay at the exact end of the board being measured. After the measurement is taken, the carpenter shakes the measuring tape, which causes the metal "L" to come free and makes it possible for the internal mechanism of the tape measure to retract the extended part of the ruler. It's really a real time saver.
The trouble with automatic tape measure is the helpful, handy 90 metal "L". It's been attached to the ruler, usually with rivets, and it comes loose. Not too loose that it will fall off, and not so loose that it won't hold tightly to a board while measuring. But certainly loose enough to affect a measurement in fact, to affect every measurement taken with that particular tape measure. And that is just no good, however, putting forth suitable cautions, and showing how to help stay ahead of the problem.
