- The tape measure is one of the most used tools in a workshop. However, this simple tool has many unknown properties. Knowing how to use and read a tape measure is essential for making accurate measurements. That's why in this video we show you the hidden features, cheats, tricks and hacks of the tape measure. If you have a tape measure in your workshop, you have been using it wrong for years! 5 Be sure to watch this video called the hidden tape measure feature.
The tape end hook is made to move back and forth. This is to make up the thickness of the end hook while using it in the Pull position.
Most if not all tape measures have their own length stamped on them. When measuring inside something just run the tape end to end and add its length. IE, tape measure stamp is 3in and you run in inside a cabinet end to end width wise and read 27in. That cabinet is 30in wide.
Interesting stuff with the 2 tape measures, but in my whole life I have never had 2 tape measures on-hand at the same time. At least one of them is lost at all times.

1 inside homemade concrete
1 somewhere in your roof
1 somewhere in your neighbour's roof
1 don't retract
1 don't deploy
1 don't stay deployed
1 became a cat toy
I have hundreds and no two will give the exact same measurement.
*Correct!* It's actually against UOTM Regulations for 2 fully functional, accurate Tape Measures over 6 Feet to be in the same man's physical possession at one time. Been that way for centuries. Keep voting Democrat.
The thumbnail had me dying lmao. Oh you its wrong to measure the actual 2x4 but its the right way to stick the end against the 2x4 and measure the air
Shows you won't get an accurate measurement if you round the corner then next situation he rounds 2 corners.
А ещё к рулетке можно привязать болгарку,дрель, перфоратор и сварочный аппарат)))
Уровень и штанген планку для высокой точности
Et aussi un compas pour mesurer le rayon d’un cercle !
Зачем, я обычно всегда ношу три рулетки в кармане.....?!

Болгарка должна быть для труднодоступных мест
Imagine being the type of person that needs to measure and cut a piece of plywood for a woodworking project in your workshop and only owning a 6 1/2 foot measuring tape. Where do you even get a 2m measuring tape? Dollar General? I think Milwaukee makes a keychain measuring tape that length
not dollar general, the one i grabbed there is 12 feet.
1:45 - способ для неправильных рулеток - правильные рулетки имеют определенную длину корпуса (на некоторых даже написано сколько именно) и упираются тыльной стороной в упор и потом щамеренная длинна плюсуется с длинной корпуса.
Every measuring tape has the length of the case in it so to measure inside measurements just place the case to the edge and add that dimension that is on the tape, typically 3".
Not every tape measure i got a few that don't
@@johnmock5825 pretty much every tape over $20😉. I also have a couple that don't but they were very cheap. You can also just measure with a ruler and write it on the bottom. Most 25' tapes are exactly 3". Don't measure the bottom of the tape, put it against something and mark it and then measure it as many tapes have a curved back
@@johnmock5825 If you are buying tape measures that cheap, then they likely have other issues bigger than the lack of the case dimension.
I would just go and buy a longer tape measure 😂😂😂 a 5 metres tape or even a 7.5 metres tape works perfectly,
@@LTVoyager it still stays best to buy either a 5 or 7.5 metres tape measure 😂😂 then it's long enough to measure a longer distance,
Thank you, that last demo was just what I was looking for. You should make a short out of it
Next tip: If your board is longer then two tape meters, you can use three tape meters to measure it.
I can give you many more tips as well. 😜
I don’t think gluing magnets, and hooking one tape measure to another are hidden tricks of a tape measure? That would be called using two tape measures because the first one was not long enough, and gluing magnets to a tape measure.
I thought it was a dumb idea.
@@jeffj_39 right!?
@@jeffj_39 hehe u are funny 😂🙂😉
You can buy a tape measure with a magnetic end.
how often do you have a metal beam just hanging out on the thing you're measuring?
Did I miss something?!
This is a comedy video, right?!
You fix a magnet to the body of the tape, by which you fix the body of the tape to a steel surface, then walk the hook-end end of the tape away from the body of the tape - ie the point that gives you the reading you want.
How do you read the measurement from 2 mtrs away from the read-out point?
I still have a 2 mtr Stanley tape that I bought about 55 years ago. (Made in Aus. 😉😊)
Aside from being short, the hook-end is not magnetic so I don't use it much these days.
ALL of my other tapes - of various lengths up to 8 mtrs - have magnetic hook-ends, enabling me to take the read-out point - ie the tape body - with me.
The 'thumbnail' seems to suggest if I want to know the thickness of a dod of wood, I should place the face of the hook-end of the tape flush against the FACE of the wood closest to me and measure AWAY from that face.
Huh?!? 🤔🤪
If this is comedy, the material needs A LOT of work.
Number 3 (the wrong) = number 4 ?
The frist method in number 3 is wrong
But it is the same method as in number 4
Нафига две рулетки?если можно наметить и дальше мерить.сразу видно не русские
А можно и "на глаз" если что😁
1:23 - 1:47 (третье измерение) - можно намного проще: к измеренному значению прибавить длину рулетки, которая указана на обратной стороне рулетки.
Только автор об этом не знает. Он даже не подозревает, похоже, что в пунктах 3 и 4 противоречит самому себе.
En una parte del vídeo mostras que no se debe doblar la cinta para medir un borde y despues para medir el techo no doblas un lado sino los dos.
Además, la medida cuando dobló la cinta es justo la misma que cuando lo midió en 2 partes!
at 1.31.. Actually the length of the measuring tape is stated on the casing. u just need to add that to your measurement instead of measuring from both sides.
Такое ощущение, что он первый раз рулетку в руки взял
согласен. у него похоже умственная отсталость. такую пургу показывает. я строитель, думал сейчас увижу что то прям дельное.
Да это точно рады тик тока и Ютуба они на всё готово
За идею с магнитами спасибо!) Остальные идеи часто использую
I like the background sound effects, like watching Stanley Kubrick 2001. We should measure the monolith.
Amazing 👍👍👍
Wow. Who'd have thought!
What are the best brands models of tape for Diy and professionals?
Twistng the tape at "3" is not acceptable, but at "4" it is ok... 0_o
Two measures?!? Unbelievable 🤭🤭🤭
I must have missed the part where the video’s thumbnail was explained....
Wow, that's magic 🤷♂️
On number 3 why not just measure from the out side the edges?
Люфт упора предназначен для компенсации при промеров "вупор" и "с зацепом".
Good working
1:32 también está mal ejecutado. El cuerpo de la cinta ya tiene una medida muchas veces grabada en el mismo, se puede medir usando el gancho en un extremo y la parte de atrás del cuerpo en el otro extremo y se suma la medida que tiene la cinta y es más preciso.
You are very clever
L'astuce 2, avec les aimants, c'est un peu l'arnaque papi.
Le but c'est d'avoir le zéro à l'extrémité du ruban, pas au niveau du dévideur !
# 4 doesn’t work with my eyesight. The magnet idea is cool but how often do you have metal to stick it to in the area your measuring?
Yep was going to say the same thing. First I have to go buy a metal post and install it, when I can just hold it for in my hand. Not to mention that the magnets might interfere with tape retraction, at least some.

I love the music, can anyone tell me what tune it is?
6. If you have a dog, you can superglue a collar onto in and the take it for a walk.

Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo
SUPER, 👍👍👍👍
Wow....fantastic. very helpful 👌 ☺ 🙂 👏
No 1 just buy a longer tape measure👍
No 4 get some step Ladders 👍
Me gusto' gracias.
I’m confused on the measuring a flat surface between two objects, where you took a measurement and then spun it around to take a second measurement. With the tape fully extended and the back of the measuring tape flush against the other endpoint you should have one reading, then add the length of the tape measure body which is usually imprinted on the body of the box (usually given in half inch increments such as 2” or 2.5”). Is there a reason to not use it that way?
Sometimes the length of the tape body isn't a nice round number or isn't even printed on the tape body.
I’ve never had a problem with a 25’ Stanley. When it comes to taking floor to ceiling/ vertical molding measurements it’s a lot easier to measure a set distance of say 60” from the floor, then measure from the top down and add them together. Or you could climb up a ladder and get a good visual to add for the tape measure body.
That's why if he has a 5 or 7.5 metres tape measure it's long enough to measure a 3 metres distance,😂😂😂 it's a catch 99 situation, because if u have a five metres tape but need to measure a 6 metres distance then u must follow the same procedure of turning tape measure around,but it is a very good idea what he shows if you need to measure a longer distance,
@@larryrobinson08 to be honest there's no fixed way to do it, because if he had a 5 metres tape measure it would not be necessary to do that,it's long enough to measure 3 metres with a 5 metres tape measure 😂😂😂,if u need to measure again a 6 metres distance with a 5 metres tape measure the same procedure must be followed, to spin the tape around,I don't think there is a perfect solution, this video helps people who didn't think about it before,I see some negative feedback but I say again it's a good video
Remember..Industry doesn't use centimeters only millimetres. The kids are getting taught wrong at schools
That true master 👍👍👍👍
For those commenting on the hook being taped.... hes actually saying that you should NOT tape it. It's spelled out on the screen during that part of the video. I came here to raise hell until I realized he was saying the right thing it just isnt very clear. Could have explained that part better.
The last tip was wrong, there is a reason for that loosen part, the first centimeter of the meter is missed 2mm, if you hooked the meter that part will add that 2mm, and if you pushed it the thickness of the head of the hook will add that 2mm too.
Great Tips 👍 Thank you !!
What is something is 8 tape measure lengths long? How would I measure that?
Pra quem n sabe, n importa se mede por dentro ou por fora. A parte metálica tem um pequeno ajuste (por isso dá a impressão dela ser meio "solta). Portanto as duas formas estão corretas, sou caldeireiro.

Very professional work, Thanks my friend ♥️♥️♥️
It's easier just to go buy a tape measure 🐱🐱 that is longer
No it's not professional at all i never see that
We did a measure of our tapes one day at work ( it was raining and we were bored we’re brickies) and no two tapes measured the same so don’t trust your tape for 100% accuracy, they’re good enough for the building trade but not accurate enough for precision work
This guy wants to teach me how to use a tape, but he needs to learn first
Когда будет обзор,как мерить резинкой от трусов?
I used your method at 1:35 to measure a 8th century peice of furniture,but only had a nail and a permanent marker to hand.
Iam currently updating my CV in hope of finding a new job😇
Tell me, is "peice" am 8th Century spelling?
Hoy alegue con mi compañero por el uso de la cinta😄
Não usei não, sempre fiz dessa forma
Quanta bagaceira
Very well explained 👌 Thanks 👏
Lovely job! Thanks kindly sir!
☝️🤔That explains why me and tape measures have never quite got along👍
I will rather just go buy a longer tape measure 😂☺️😂 much easier and less time consuming
inside length=readings+body length
Распальцовка крутая!
Где доктор? Срочно позовите доктора!!!
👏👏👏
point 3: every good tape have the correct long write (longer/side/down)
😊👍
Pensé que Hiba a explicar para que tiene la pestaña una ranura o 2 cuernitos traceros.
Could have used the factory stamp on the tape measure to add the housing to the leg to leg measurement.
2:33 - у тебя рулетка поддельная, этот люфт специально сделан для компенсации толщины зацепа.
Yeah tengo que hacer un vídeo asi
Base, to tip, not complicated
No se porque uno solo tiene un cintametrica
Да эти тонкости я не все знал👏👏👏
Toy tapes. Wouldn’t last 5 minutes on a real job site. Like to see him try those tricks 20 feet in the air hanging on with one hand.
꿀팁^^
The last measurement was longer because of the tape - what's the purpose?
Большая часть идей лишние телодвижения, а последнее заклеивание так вообще противопоказано - так задумано, чтобы мерять можно было хоть зацепом, хоть упором.
It's not a feature if you are moding the tool.
비밀이 아니라 줄자의 단점인데...~
La battuta del metro è stata inventata appositamente lenta perché deve avere due funzioni, sia quando viene agganciato il metro e quando viene appoggiato.
La maggior parte delle persone ancora non lo ha capito e crede che la battuta sia lenta perché è danneggiata. Non c’è bisogno di bloccare la battuta come hai fatto tu, complichi solo le cose.
I don't know of a single person who daily works with a tape, that doesn't know everyone of these common practices.
Автор сам не знает одной интересной особенности рулетки на 1:40

داداش سلام خسته نباشید شما ایرانی مقیم ایتالیا هستید خواهش میکنم جواب بدید؟؟؟؟
Why not do the step in 1:37 at 0:07?
I wouldn't have taped end of tape measure. Just add 1mm to your measurement. Good video anyway. 👍🏼
No!
Every tape has the same loose hook for a reason!
The loose has the same length as the thickness of that hook.
He was taping it to illustrate the point that if it doesn't move your inside/outside measurements will be off by 1mm with lack of the free movement, as he explained in the text in the vid. 👍

Omg I can’t believe it. Everything we do now days is all wrong. Please !
Первый отрезок, это такой лайфхак чтоли? А что делать если у тебя только одна рулетка?
А когда это столяры в миллиметрах мерили? Вы про влажность слыхали?

Hello mọi người .
For year when I started the plumbing trade our boss would only allow us to use a folding stick rule. I still use it for certain things like running copper.
@@charlespartak2435 I started in the 70’s and my boss was very old school, in his youth they used horse and buggy, that’s how old he was. Lol He believed it was a lot more accurate and that is what he believed in. He wasn’t into modern tools or equipment and man did we pay for it. In terms of using the stick rule, anything over 21ft for galvanized, 20ft for pvc, 10ft for cast etc. we’d just eye that up, when we’d within 6ft or so then we’d use our stick rule. By the late 80’s we started sneaking the Stanley tape measure on the job, he wasn’t to happy about it but by then everyone was using them, he gave in but we still used the rule when running copper in rough-ins. Also worked great for holding the stub out level when we would make that solider joint.
If we didn’t have electricity on a job, he would break out the old hand crank drills if you can believe it.
We rarely used and type of equipment like, backhoes, jack-hammers, skill saws nothing! All by hand. We’d dig ditches 300 ft long with 5 men. He didn’t care if it took 2 weeks or a month, he was getting paid by the hour. I have the bad knees to prove it too. We had an 1 1/4” galvanized tee with a 5ft piece of pipe for a handle, a jackhammer chisel taped through the tee, one person would knell down and hold the chisel handle and the other person would swing a 16lb mall and hit the chisel, that’s how we busted concrete. We repiped an entire slab house like that!! Unbelievable!!!! Pieces of the chisel would mushroom off and fly off like bullets and hit us and hurt like a SOB. Lol
@charles partak oh it was smart on his part, he was charging by the hour and that’s how he grew up doing it. He wasn’t up for change.
@@charlespartak2435 I think you need to look back a little further than 30 years. 50 years ago I never met a tape measure that didn’t break first time you dropped it. Modern tape measures are a lot tougher. When I started my craft as a wood worker there were old timers that make those funny looking 6’ folding tapes do magic tricks!
My dad only used a would rule also he retired in 1991. However, for brick work a folding brick spacing rule is still easier to use than a tape. I have both and only use the tape if I can't find my wood one.
