What is the Vara conuquera used for historically?

It was a regional variant of the Spanish vara used historically in surveying, land titles, and building measurements before the metric system.

Why is the Handbreadth considered informal?

Because it is based on the breadth of a human hand and varies greatly between cultures and times, it lacks standard scientific definition.

Can I use this converter for precise engineering work?

No, due to variations and informal nature of both units, this converter is intended for historical and approximate conversions only.
