You may be asking yourself how on earth you could be mishandling a tape measure. It turns out that there’s more to it than just opening it and glancing at the figures. You can see that your tape measure has black diamonds on it if you examine it carefully. In actuality, those are stud finders.

Framing studs behind the walls can be found with a stud finder, for those of us who aren’t too handy.
