minus-squareOfCourseNot@fedia.iocakelinkfedilinkarrow-up37·6 days agoMy tape measure has millimeter divisions? In fact til 5cm (I think, might be 10. I’ll check tomorrow) it has 0.5 mm lines too. I mean I would use another tool probably, but if I only had my tape measure it would do unless the changes are smaller than like 0.25 mm.
minus-squareagamemnonymous@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up26arrow-down2·6 days agoOh mine too, but that doesn’t make it the right tool for the job.
minus-squareRozz@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days agoAgreed. For those not using metric, tape measures usually have 16ths of an inch which is 1.5 mm, and you can easily measure down to 32nds.
