ABSTRACT:
A portable grip length indicator for determining a discrete fastener length for a fastener to be used in fastening a stack of two or more pieces of material. The indicator comprises a body, a probe attached to the body and capable of extending beyond the body for determining the thickness of the stack, a transducer connected to the probe for sensing the relative movement of the probe and translating the movement into an electrical output signal, and an electrical processor for computing the discrete fastener length from the output signal of the transducer according to a predetermined correlation of the thickness of the stack and the type of fastener to be used.
