Solution

Calipers are similar to micrometers in shape but instead of measuring distances, calipers are used to transfer distances between objects.

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