Image: Image (binary/octet-stream)	the digital calipers are another precision measurement tool. they can be used for measuring inside and outside lengths, as well as depths. they can also be converted to mm or inches
Image: Steel+Rule (binary/octet-stream)	steel rules act like a ruler, except the marking starts at the edge, allowing for accurate measurements of depths
Image: Try+Square (binary/octet-stream)	try squares are used to measure perpendicular lines on wood
Image: Engineers+Square (binary/octet-stream)	engineers squares act like try squares, but the handle is made of metal, to stop the try square handle swelling from any oils, which would ruin the tool

Image: Dividers (binary/octet-stream)	dividers are used for marking, measuring and transferring lengths
Image: Odd+Leg+Calipers (binary/octet-stream)	odd leg calipers are used for marking lines parallel to an edge on metal
