What if I don't have a hard number for my inspection tools (calipers, gauges) bullet?

How many inspection tools (calipers, gauges) bullets should I include?
One strong bullet beats three vague ones. If inspection tools (calipers, gauges) is genuinely central to how you do this job, one clear example under your most relevant role is enough — repeating it across multiple jobs reads as padding.
