What is a caliper used for?

56% Answer Correctly

	transferring distances between objects
	making perfectly vertical lines
	ensuring that surfaces are level

A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.
