-  * Gauge Pins are also yellow tools.
   * These pins are "minus" pins, meaning they're one or two ten-thousandths of an inch smaller than the number etched on each pin.
   * Gauge pins are generally used to quickly and precisely measure small hole diameters, typically when reaming or boring.
     * Typically, you would use 3 pins: The nominal size, plus one smaller and one larger pin.
-    * If the smaller pin fits, but the nominal doesn't, your hole is too undersize.
+    * If the smaller pin fits, but the nominal doesn't, your hole is undersize.
     * If the nominal pin fits, and the larger pin doesn't, your hole is on-size.
     * If the larger pin fits, you're oversize. Oops.
   * Do not use force when trying to fit pins. They can, and will, get stuck.
