Calipers combine extremely accurate measurements with easy hand-held use and are an essential tool in the workshops and toolboxes of many home remodeling enthusiasts. Three types of calipers exist -- vernier, dial and digital. Digital calipers display measurement readings in an easy-to-read electronic format, and their lack of gears or teeth give them a better chance to avoid error-causing contamination issues. The L.S. Starrett company's No. 722 digital caliper is an older model with a reputation for heavy battery usage.
