How to measure reliably and take care of your equipment
Incorrect measurement is worse than none because then you think the part is good. Go through the points when you measure.

- 02Is it the right tool for the precision the task requires?
- 03Is the item clean and free of chips that could give incorrect measurements?
§During measurement.
- 01Measuring tool after the clinic's method
- 02The measuring tool is your eyes and the solder iron your hand. Learn both well and you can build and find almost anything.

§Equipment care
