I use a thread file to measure.

I worked with a guy once who never wiped his tools off. When you picked up one of his tools you got a hand full of grease. No one ever borrowed his tools.

When I was a motorcycle mechanic, I used them for removing the wire clamp on fuel lines and pulling the rubber fuel line off.
