    After sealing your cans, inspect the height and thickness of seams to make sure they won't leak. These micrometers balance on the rim of your can, letting you measure with one hand.
    To find your exact measurements, read the scales on the sleeve and thimble. These micrometers are free of electronic components that could break if dropped or short-circuit if wet. You don't have to replace any batteries, so they're always ready for the job.
    Mitutoyo—The go-to for machinists and engineers. Every part is made within a Mitutoyo automated factory and tested in-house in Japan. The spindle glides as you turn the thimble with a weighty, silky-smooth feel.
    Style A—Measure the seams on standard food cans. In addition to height and thickness, these micrometers have a rod for measuring depth.
    Style B—A lip on the anvil fits into narrow grooves, such as those found on top of a soda can. Measure height and thickness, but not depth.
    Style C—Fit into tight, angled seams, such as those on a spray paint can. Measure height and thickness, but not depth.
    Ratchet Thimble—Best for consistent, repeatable measurements. The spindle stops extending the moment it reaches your part, so it won’t overtighten. Hear and feel a satisfying click that confirms you’ve applied the right amount of pressure.
