The vernier caliper is probably the most widespread length measuring device in metal and mechanical engineering.
Pocket calipers consist of the hardened bar with millimetre divisions and the measuring legs. You can use a pocket caliper to make internal and external measurements, with the cross-bevels (the one at the top) being used to determine the internal dimension of holes or grooves.
Some models also have an integrated depth gauge, which makes measuring depths (e.g. bores etc.) much easier.
