This tool is a(n) __________.

58% Answer Correctly

outside caliper

vernier caliper

inside micrometer

inside caliper


Solution

Calipers are similar to micrometers in shape but instead of measuring distances, calipers are used to transfer distances between objects. An outside caliper is used to transfer outside dimensions while an inside caliper is used to transfer inside distances. A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.

4

Which of the following determines whether a socket can be used with a particular ratchet?

50% Answer Correctly

the point size

the drive circumference

the socket size

the drive size


Solution

A ratchet (or socket wrench) is a wrench that applies torque in only one direction with a handle that can be moved back and forth without losing contact with the fastener. A ratchet uses variable attachments called sockets which come in a variety of drive sizes based on the size of the opening that attaches to the ratchet. Sockets with the same drive size will vary in the shape (six-point, twelve-point) and size of the nut opening that attaches to the fastener being tightened or loosened. Smaller point sized sockets are stronger and can apply greater torque while larger point sizes allow easier alignment.


5

The primary difference between a standard level and a bullseye level is which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

a bullseye level can measure across two dimensions

a bullseye level has only one bubble to center

a standard level can measure across two dimensions

a standard level has only one bubble to center


Solution

Levels utlize a fluid-filled tube containing a bubble that is centered when the surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb) along the direction of the tube. While a standard level can measure along a single dimension, a bullseye level is circular and can indicate the levelness of a two dimensional plane.
