Can't tell if I'm missing a joke here, but see those two small knife looking protruding from the opposite side (above) where they're measuring, those are used for measuring internal diameter.

The side they're using is for outer diameter.

And though you can't see it in the pic, the thin bit of metal that extends out from the bottom can be used for measuring depth.

TIL what the thin bit is for. Thanks

Probably not because I would have said the same thing. I know nothing about tools.

Same thought, Im not sure if that comment is a joke or not...
