Abstract

A simple solution to the problem of a broken depth gauge is suggested. A hypodermic needle is bent to simulate the shape of a depth gauge and used in a similar way. This allows measurement of the screw length against the scale on the set. We would advocate this method only when there is no suitable alternative depth gauge available.
