Some of the questions that some people ask me (and - likely - ask others) could be answered more easily if they had a $15 or $20 Chinese calipers on hand.
I’ve never looked, but there surely some YouTube videos that show how to use them. They are actually easier to use than a yardstick.
It’s also sort of nice to have an (electronic) calipers that does both SAE and metric. These are also cheap.
