Demonstration should include the proper use, maintenance, and calibration requirements per manufacturers' instructions, and government regulations.
Precision measuring tools should include:
- outside and inside micrometers
- depth micrometer
- dial indicators
- torque wrenches
- feeler gauges
- spark plug gap gauge
- calipers
- bore gauge
- pressure gauge
- vacuum gauge
- Plastigauge.
