Using a measuring tape:
The end piece (metal hook) is designed to fit loosely on the end of the measuring tape. It allows for inside and outside measure-ments. For inside measurements the end piece will compress by the thickness of the hook. For outside measurements the end piece will expand by the thickness of the hook.
Â
Always make sure that there is no slack caused by the end piece when measuring. The tape is naturally cupped out to reinforce the measuring blade. When marking a measurement, flatten the measuring blade to increase accuracy on the area being marked.
Â
When adjusting the fences on a table saw or a band saw, make sure the machines are switched off when using the measuring tape.

Maintenance:
The measuring tape's accuracy needs to be checked often. The end piece can get bent over time and it is easy to fix by straightening it by a pair of pliers.
