    Your traditional calipers, combining precision and durability. This classic design uses a sliding vernier scale. Just add the measurement from the main scale to the measurement on the vernier scale to get accurate readings as small as 0.001". Made completely out of metal, these calipers won't break when dropped or short-circuit when wet. They're battery-free, so they're always ready to use.
    Mitutoyo—The go-to for machinists and engineers. Every part of these calipers is made within Mitutoyo's automated system and tested in-house in Japan. Their jaws are laser cut to exact dimensions for the most reliable measurements.
    Caliper Depth Base Attachments—Clamp onto the end of your caliper to steady it while measuring depth.

    Prevent the jaws from creeping forward or backward as you measure. They move only when you press a button, then lock in place when you let go. The button falls naturally under your thumb, so you can operate these calipers comfortably with one hand.
    These classic calipers use a sliding vernier scale. Just add the measurement from the main scale to the measurement on the vernier scale to get accurate readings as small as 0.001". Made completely out of metal, they won't break when dropped or short-circuit when wet. They're battery-free, so they're always ready to use.

    No longer than a pencil for quick measurements on the go. Made entirely of metal, these calipers won't break if dropped or short-circuit if rinsed or rained on.
    Starrett—Our most accurate slide ruler calipers are precision made and tested in the U.S. Push and pull the thumb wheel to move the jaws with one hand. Then tighten the screw to lock them in place so they won't creep as you measure. A slide stop prevents these calipers from accidentally pulling apart into two pieces.
