    Just popping into say that all measuring tapes are loose at the end for when you're measuring the outside of something (hooking the metal onto a surface) or the inside (pushing the metal against a surface) :)

    • @kraiw0
      @kraiw0 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      right!! it gives you a true zero, the wiggle room is the width of the piece of metal on the end so that when you're measuring from the inside it accounts for the space that tip takes up.

    • @jenniviiv
      @jenniviiv 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You can also just start measuring from 1" mark and then subtract 1" from your total measurement. Then it's perfectly exact. That's what I've been taught so passing along! :)

    Megan all tapes are loose at the end to adjust for the zero measurement when u use it on the inner and outer diameters of stuff

  • @asiansweggoddess3126
    @asiansweggoddess3126 3 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Fun Fact: the reason for the end of the measuring tape being loose is to accommodate for the thickness of that end piece. That way when you pull/push the tip against the material you're measuring, it will already be accommodated for and the markings of the tape should be exact.

    OK Megan, I’m so wanting to do this, you have me absolutely inspired. But please give us an update in a few months on how they hold up. I need to know how they will hold up to wear and tear. Because I feel like this is one of those projects where I do not want to be having to redo it every few months.

    I recently learned from the guys at " This Old House" that the tape measure shift is actually intentional and accounts for the thickness of the metal tip. The metal tip is exactly 1/16 of an inch thick. The way it works is If you’re measuring the outside of a surface and hook the metal end on the edge, that metal piece will shift out and create a gap, so that you aren’t counting it in your measurement. If you need to measure the inside, like in a window frame, the metal piece will shift back to fill the gap and calculate the measurement correctly.

    so the measuring tape space do have a purpose. so when you pull in it it will give you the number X, and when you push it in to something it will give you the same number X. the reason why you can move it a tiny bit, is the thickness of the metal end. the metal is 0.X thick, so push to measure is X + 0.X and pulling measuring is X - 0.X. but both methods gives you the same length of X, since it is able to move 0.X that is the thickness. and ofcourse the empty space between the tape end and the metal end, is for the movement and is also included with the numbers you read on the tape.
