Builder Explains Why The Rivets On A Tape Measure Are So Important

These days, the web has been circulated by a builder named Tom Silva, who explained in a video why rivets on a tape measure are so important.

With his explanation, he clarified many things to many when using a simple gadget, which is necessary in many works.

Tom in the video first explained why rivets on a tape measure are so important. The tape measures with lever are composed in such a way that the tip moves gently. This ensures the exact distance between the measurements.

If we measure the distance between the outer edges, a tape measure expands slightly - just for the width of the pin found at the very tip. If we measure the inner edges, the tip moves to the other side.

The worker in the video added that that it is also important to stop the tape with your fingers after each measurement, in order to expand the pin on the tip again.
