when not in use. With spring blade return. Self-
adjusting hook for internal and external reading.
Metric and inch readings. ABS casing. End hook has
two rivets, graduated with 1/32”, 1/16” and mm.
A push pull rule is a measuring tape that coils into
a compact case.

Ruler
A ruler, sometimes called a rule or line gauge, is an
instrument used in geometry, technical drawing, printing as well
as engineering and building to measure distances or to rule
straight lines. The ruler is a straightedge which may also contain
calibrated lines to measure distances.

Meter stick
A rule one meter long (usually marked of in centimeters and
millimeters).

A meterstick is a stick that is 100 centimeters long, roughly


39 inches. Generally used to measure distance. Or the easy way
is a meter stick is about 1 yard.
A meter stick is a measurement tool that measures length in
metres. The measurement is done by placing the meter stick
against the object whose measurements are to be taken and the
readings read from zero. The readings can then be converted in to
other units such as centimetres, inches and feet as deemed
convenient.

It is usually employed for work on a medium scale; larger


than desktop work on paper, yet smaller than large scale
infrastructure work, where tape measures or longer measuring
rods are used. Typical applications of meter sticks are for building
furniture, vehicles and houses. Modern carpenters' yardsticks are
usually made to be folded for ease of transport.

Try Square
A try square is a woodworking or a metal working tool used
for marking and measuring a piece of wood. The square refers to
the tool's primary use of measuring the accuracy of a right angle
(90 degrees); to try a surface is to check its straightness or
correspondence to an adjoining surface. A piece of wood that is
rectangular, flat, and has all edges (faces, sides, and ends) 90
degrees is called four square. A board is often milled four square
in preparation for using it in building furniture.

A traditional try square has a broad blade made of steel that


is riveted to a wooden handle or 'stock'. The inside of the wooden
stock usually has a brass strip fixed to it to reduce wear. Some
blades also have graduations for measurement. Modern try
squares may be all-metal, with stocks that are either die-cast or
extruded.

'Try square' is sometimes spelled 'tri square' although its


etymology is from 'trying', in the sense of testing, rather than the
prefix 'tri-' meaning three.

Caliper
A caliper (British spelling also calliper, or in plurale tantum sense a
pair of calipers) is a device used to measure the distance between two
opposite sides of an object. A caliper can be as simple as a compass with
inward or outward-facing points. The tips of the caliper are adjusted to fit
across the points to be measured, the caliper is then removed and the
distance read by measuring between the tips with a measuring tool, such as
a ruler.

It is used in many fields such as mechanical engineering,


metalworking, forestry, woodworking, science and medicine.

A plurale tantum sense of the word "calipers" coexists in natural usage


with the regular noun sense of "caliper". That is, sometimes a caliper is
treated cognitively like a pair of glasses or a pair of scissors, resulting in a
phrase such as "hand me those calipers" or "those calipers are mine" in
reference to one unit.

Also existing colloquially but not in formal usage is referring to a


Vernier caliper as a "Vernier" or a "pair of Vernier". In imprecise colloquial
usage, some speakers extend this even to dial calipers, although they
involve no Vernier scale.

In machine-shop usage, the term "caliper" is often used in


contradistinction to "micrometer", even though outside micrometers are
technically a form of caliper. In this usage, "caliper" implies only the form
factor of the Vernier or dial caliper (or its digital counterpart).
