The answer will depend on the object that you wish to measure. For example, a balance and some standard masses (wrongly called weights) will be OK for measuring the mass of a few apples but not much use for the mass of an elephant and totally useless for the mass of the sun! In the latter case, the tools are spectroscopy and computers, with physics and mathematics as intellectual tools.

The tool that is commonly used with the base units of mass, volume, and length is a measuring instrument or scale. For mass, a balance or scale is used to measure the amount of matter in an object. For volume, a graduated cylinder or measuring cup is typically used to measure the amount of space occupied by a liquid or solid. For length, a ruler or measuring tape is commonly used to measure the distance or size of an object.
