Some fun stuff about tape measures that a lot of people don't know.
Every tape measure body has a measurement on it to indicate the length of the body. This is so you can run it up hard against a wall and still get an accurate measurement.
The metal hook that's always loose? Designed to be that way! The tape measure doesn't go all the way to zero. That movement of the hook is designed so that you can accurately measure from the inside or outside edge.
