The most common is the finger or hand. Many people can quite accurately estimate the length or width of an object or image by simply putting their hand or finger on it and counting the number of times they need to. Others can simply apply this mentally, or even use an object or an image of the rule in their mind, to measure an object. Other than this, knowing the line spacing of a ruled page in a notebook can also be used; a common spacing is 7 millimetres, so assuming you can convert the units and do some simple algebra, it can also be used as a technique for informal measurement. Credit card, bank cards and IDs are other useful tools for the purpose.
