TECH questions for TECHS 🙄

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.

+1. Take the battery out between uses. Mine seems to drain while it's in the case.

So you're telling me there is an easier way to measure the bore of my horns and I can stop using a yard stick???

Yardsticks are so old school.
I much prefer a drywall square...
