My tape measure has millimeter divisions? In fact til 5cm (I think, might be 10. I'll check tomorrow) it has 0.5 mm lines too.

I mean I would use another tool probably, but if I only had my tape measure it would do unless the changes are smaller than like 0.25 mm.

Oh mine too, but that doesn't make it the right tool for the job.

Agreed. For those not using metric, tape measures usually have 16ths of an inch which is 1.5 mm, and you can easily measure down to 32nds.
