I always wondered why they moved thank you so much and this was a great refresher on how to read a measuring tape 🎉

Good teacher!

Do much easyer if you go decimal

THANK YOU SIR! I NEVER thought of the reading the ruler backwards trick if it in between lines. Thanks so much. ❤

THANK YOU 😀

the voice is slow and monatone. This makes it easy to learn thank you!

Staircase Widths. Basic cuts adding utop the rung of the sawhorse.

What would the reading be between the little marks. I got a vslve that measures right dead center between 1 15/16 and 1 7/81p

Thank you sir

Thank you. I’m murica!

Great job very helpful 🎉😊

Thank you bro

Could you used another different way to explain 🤔 you did it like if you were explaining to people's that got knowing on this field 🤔 and remember that Could out here someone's that don't have idea what it is.

Perfect! :) 👏👏👏

Where would 37.25 inches be on the measuring tape?

At the end it's supposed to be 1/8 and then 1/16 You said it backwards

I got confused at 16 and 8

Thank you. I am in my 40s and never knew how to read these things properly. That all changed with this video

Looks awfully close to the old measurment know as the cubit. Now a days, it's believed that it's approximately a foot and a half or 18 (in) but they've discovered that the old Egyptian cubic was more like 20

As an American carpenter I prefer ours. When you are in GO mode I prefer less lines. We normally just use eighth, quarter, half and three quarters. If it's a 16th we just say an eighth "fat". Or slightly less than a eighth we say "take the line"

Metrisch is gewoon het beste, ik werkte voor een Amerikaanse firma zij zijn overgeschakeld naar metrisch volg hun voorbeeld.

Now that’s what I call a great video thanks a lot. Very insightful and informative.

This is a wonderful explanation. You are a really good teacher. Well done, congratulations, Sir, thank you very much for your help.

Can't find 20 1/32

You mis-counted. There are 5 diamonds for every 8ft/96inches. The diamond is actually at the interval of 19.200 inches verses 19.1875 (19 3/16).

Reminded me of this Dana Carvey “She’s chopping broccoli” SNL skit: ruclips.net/user/shorts49yI_2X_pMw?si=i3XXN0SIBszn0UxH

Better than my math teacher back in the day😂👏🏻

👍

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

i am a 53 yr old american. And i have never used metric measurements. however I want to learn because I want to build a house to retire in using only the metric system. and this video cleared up a lot for me. Thank you. Now I have to go online and buy a metric tape since my box store here in the US does not sell metric tape measures.

Thanks for the info. Know I know just a little more than before.

thank you so much I needed this I was never taught this growing up my dad tried but it just would not stick in my young head now 45 it makes more sense thank you

Great and so useful👌

Let's put it this way you order two pizzas same size pizzas. Now one of them you you slice into 8 equal sized pieces. The next one you slice into 16 pieces also of equal size. Then with pizza will have larger slices. Wow troubling you put this garbage on the internet claiming the smallest readable increment of a tape is 1/8 of an inch. No its 1/16!! Duh just order two pizzas and slice them bud!!

Love how you said half inch quarter inch is next then what did he say... 1/16 of an inch then smallest is 1/8 of an inch? Well isn't 2/16 of an inch equal to 1/8 of an inch. So how can 1/8 of an inch be smaller than a single 16th

Thank you sooooo much

That’s a thank you 🙏

Wth this need to be taught on you tube?

I just gave up on imperial tape measures in general and all the fractions.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share and show me I never really understood fractions and this is helping

I have always ignored that black diamond

A diamond belongs on a finger😅😅

Uk 🇬🇧 we've used metric in construction for 40 plus years all we use is metres and millimetres we dont use centimeters just complicates things so 7643 means 7 metres and 643 millimetres not 7 metres 64 centimeters and 3 millimetres 🤔

...and this is why Americans would never go metric :-)

You teach well, thank you but I still do not understand why the metal piece moves at all. Thanks.

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

I have a decimal that I changed into a fraction 0.40 = 2/5. How do I read 2/5" on the tape measure?

We used the diamonds when installing i-beams when building parking garages and buildings, wait until people figure out what the little hole on the end of a tape is for lol
