Why on earth would you want to measure your testes?
Yours are the size they are. Nothing can change that. What if everyone on here said bigger or smaller than yours are? What would you do then?
Stop asking silly questions. Some of the answers may frighten you.

A doctor will measure testis using an orchidometer which simply looks like a string of beads of different sizes. He will feel your testicle and then compare it to the different sized "beads". However this is usually done in children and during puberty and in most cases its not really necessary because pathological variations in size are clearly evident.
How old are you? If this is simply a case of vanity don't worry, size varies and its not like its going to make any difference during intercourse. However if you're geniunely worried or small testicular size is accompanied by other femminization features such as female fat distribtion, lack of body hair in male areas, etc, it might be worth it to go for a visit to your doctor who might recommend an endocrinologist.
If you have noticed a change in size especially if unilateral, do not delay and get checked out. Testicular cancer is especially common in late teenage years and early 20s. There are other less serious pathologies as well which can occur including varicocoeles, cysts etc.
To make this complete, of course i'm not refering to you since you gave no other details, but steroid abuse in gyms and such gives testicular atrophy, as does alcohol abuse. To quote a lecturer of mine, "They literally become the size of peanuts". Lol you're forewarned!
Good Luck :)

The normal testis is about the size of a large walnut. Just let it go at that.

The normal size is about 1/2 of the size of your brain... So, there! You are fine!

I'm with star. They are all different sizes. If they work, good. If not, talk to a Dr.
And there is no relation between their size and courage. Some of the bravest people don't even have any.

you do no longer. The length that concerns is the size of the testes. the object link tells you why. the size of the grasp would not matter slightly. No, i'm no longer a small guy, i'm a woman.
