  "description": "A caliper is only as good as the reading you can repeat. Two people measuring the same shaft should get the same number, and if they do not, the tool is usually not the reason.\n\nClean first. A chip of swarf on a jaw face is worth more than the tool's whole error budget, and it is the most common cause of a measurement that will not settle.\n\nZero before every job, with the jaws closed and dry. Then take the measurement with light, even pressure. A caliper is a lever, and leaning on it will read small on an outside measurement and large on an inside one.\n\nLet the part and the tool sit at the same temperature. Steel moves with heat, and a part straight off a machine is not the size it will be in twenty minutes. This is the reason the glass sensor matters: it takes one of the two variables out of the problem.\n\nUse the right face. Outside jaws for outside dimensions, the inside knives for a bore, the depth rod for a step. The blade edges are for scribing on some calipers and not on this one, so treat the jaws as measuring faces only.\n\nFor a differential measurement, zero on the reference rather than doing arithmetic afterwards. It is faster and it removes the mistake.\n\nStore it closed, in the case, with the battery out if it is going into a drawer for the winter. A leaking cell is the usual end of a caliper that was otherwise fine.",
