How does the consumption factor work?

The consumption factor accounts for thread lost during machine threading, tensioning, and trimming. A factor of 1.1 adds 10% to the required length to cover this waste.

Can I compare different thread brands?

Yes, you can use `compare_unit_pricing` to compare any two thread options based on their price and length to find the best value.

How many spools do I need to buy?

Use the `get_spool_requirement_cost` tool. It calculates the total length needed including waste and then determines the number of whole spools required to cover that length.
