Smaller than you think.
4 Stars
Smaller than you think.
The caliper is approximately 4.5" long, slide shaft 1", measuring head 1.5", and the depth 1/8". Honestly the whole thing is definitely smaller than I anticipated, which is great. I keep it in a pocket organizer.Had to knock a star of due to unfinished edges that I had to clean up myself. Other than that, works great as a small straight edge/ruler/caliper.
