[@MeasuringMarvels]

De nada. Espero que esto haya sido útil

[@micahcroft3996]

Thanks for the in depth video. What tape measurer are you showing at around 2:35? The one that has the 32nd marks on it.

[@MeasuringMarvels]

I think it's this one: amzn.to/3dTEHA6 Thanks for watching.

[@nick9463]

👍

[@DJSHADDY2K7]

Any video on how to use the body of the tape measurer for end to end inside measure ?

[@MeasuringMarvels]

Great idea. I'll add that to my list. Thanks

[@DJSHADDY2K7]

@@MeasuringMarvels I would appreciate it alot.

[@dogbone1065]

If you ask your phone a question in deviding a measurement into three, it gives the fraction and the remaining in decimal.

[@MeasuringMarvels]

Siri just doesn't understand fractions very well. :-)

[@batissta44]

so basically the most you can divide an inch is by 1/16 or 1/32 depending on the tape measure

[@MeasuringMarvels]

Yes, it all depends on the measuring device you have at hand.

[@salimmoore5788]

Hi Scott, this was a good video. I need all the training possible. I need to ask you some questions via email. I believe your feedback will sharpen my knowledge.

[@MeasuringMarvels]

I'm happy to help. What new videos would you find helpful?

[@mefirst4266]

I DID NOT KNOW THEY MADE A 32ND'S TAPE MEASURE. UNTILL TODAY DANG.........

[@MeasuringMarvels]

Funny enough, it’s the cheaper ones that have the 32nds.

[@user-ko8lv6ix4f]

There's a mistake 5/8 comes before 3/4

[@MeasuringMarvels]

Good catch. I do mention the gaff in the description text below. Back when KZbin has those popup bubbles there was one at that very moment in the video making the correction. Ah well. I hope you found the video helpful in one way or another. Enjoy the day.

[@savageluke1113]
