I get you 100% and even went to my mom to have her show me since she's an electrician but it was beyond easy. Only problem i can see is it goes in 8ths. But i just round up. One crab is between 5/8 and 3/4 but closer to 5/8. So i would get shells for her in size 3/4 or slightly bigger. It also came with great directions and pictures. So curious how it would work.

I buy my own shells, I wouldn't order them, so I'm good . I'm fortunate enough to live in Florida. @kieagcarm I had to look at my previous purchases to find it. APG 100mm/4" LCD Digital Electronic Carbon Fiber Vernier Calipers Guage Micrometer with Large LCD Screen Display Inch/Metric (Whew! How is that for a title?!) $9.99 free one day shipping with Prime orders over $35. In stock. Hope that helps. I doubt you have to type entire thing to find. It is measuring a ball of red yarn in the pic. I'm on iPad, still need to figure out attaching links!

That looks great! Btw, did I ever tell you my crabbies have pretty much destroyed the baby aloe plant I put in there? They munch on it. Very creative! I love all of the green!!
