I liked what you explained about measurement tools and how to make sure they give us accurate results. The other day, my brother said he’s interested in opening a tool shop with one of his friends, and I think he’d benefit from reading your insight on measurement tools, so I’ll share it with him right now. Thanks for the tips on essential tools and which are the best for accurate measurements. https://westportcorp.com/pages/british-thread-gages
