Measurement and layout tools are an indispensable assistant to any craftsman. They allow for accurate measurements of lengths, distances, angles, and shapes of objects. In this section, you will find a wide selection of tools that will provide you with precision and reliability in construction and repair.
Pencils are one of the most common tools for marking and labeling surfaces. They can be regular pencils or mechanical ones that do not require sharpening. They are used for cutting, marking, and indicating the location of parts.
Furniture guides are a tool used to measure the distance between holes for furniture fastening. This helps to ensure proper installation of parts and preservation of their shape.
Rulers are a tool for measuring length. They can be found in different sizes and materials, from metal to plastic. Rulers can be marked in centimeters, millimeters, inches, and other units of measurement.
Markers are a tool that allows for marking surfaces and labeling objects. They can be of different colors and materials, including hard markers, permanent markers, and water-based markers.
Micrometers are a tool that allows for measuring very small distances with accuracy up to several microns. They are typically used in metalworking and for precise work with small parts. Micrometers have two measuring elements that can be moved to measure the length of a part.
Levels are a tool used to determine a horizontal surface. They allow for determining the level of a surface with accuracy up to several millimeters. Levels can be mechanical, optical, or electronic.
Inside calipers are a tool used to measure the internal dimensions of holes and pipe diameters. They can have different sizes and be mechanical or electronic.
Rules are tools for measuring length, width, and other dimensions. They can be made from metal, plastic, or wood. Rules can have different units of measurement and be marked on both sides.
Rulers are tools used for measuring length, consisting of a flexible strip and a casing that contains a mechanism for retracting the strip. They can be marked in centimeters, millimeters, inches, and other units of measurement.
Protractors are tools used for measuring angles. They can be fixed or have a movable scale that allows angles to be measured up to 180 degrees. Protractors can be made of metal or plastic.
Squares are tools used for measuring and marking angles. They can come in different sizes and be made of metal or plastic.
Laser measurers are modern tools for measuring distances and heights with high accuracy using a laser beam. They can be handheld or stationary and have various functions, such as measuring distances, volumes, areas, and other parameters. Laser measurers are typically used in construction, architecture, surveying, and other fields where measuring large distances requires high precision.
Levels are tools used for measuring the evenness of a surface. They can be mechanical, optical, or electronic. Mechanical levels measure the slope based on the difference in height at two points, optical levels use the leveling of the visual boundary, and electronic levels use electronic sensors.
Compasses are tools used for drawing circles and other arcs. A compass consists of two legs, one of which has a pointed end, and the other has a hole through which a pencil or pen can pass.
Scribblers are a tool used to draw lines on the surface of a material. They are used in various fields, including architecture, engineering, mechanical engineering, drawing, etc. Scribblers can have different designs, but typically they consist of a holder that contains a graphite lead or a hard metal tip, and a system for fixing the holder in the desired position. Scribblers can be single or double, with the latter having two holders for drawing parallel lines simultaneously.
Marker cords are a simple tool for measuring distances that consist of a long cord, often with a ribbon or string attached to it with markings.
Vernier calipers are tools used to measure the external and internal dimensions of objects. They consist of two legs and a measuring scale.
Tripods are tools for supporting heavy objects or instruments, such as cameras or laser levels. Tripods can be adjustable in height and made of various materials.
Probes are tools used for measuring distances, thickness, depth, and other parameters. Probes consist of several parts: handles, measuring heads, and shafts. Handles are usually connected by a spring, which ensures proper contact of the measuring head with the surface that needs to be measured. The measuring head can have different shapes depending on the parameter that needs to be measured. The shaft of the probe usually has graduations that allow accurate measurement of the required parameters. Probes can be mechanical, optical, or electronic.
