A spring caliper is a measuring tool used in metalworking and woodworking to accurately measure the inside or outside dimensions of an object. It consists of two legs joined at a hinge, with one leg incorporating a spring to keep the legs apart when not in use.

There are two main types of spring calipers:

Outside Spring Caliper:

Used to measure the external dimensions of an object.
The legs are placed around the outside of the object, and the spring maintains tension to hold the legs against the object being measured.
Inside Spring Caliper:

Used to measure the internal dimensions of an object, such as the diameter of a hole.
The legs are inserted into the opening, and the spring tension holds them against the inner surfaces.
Spring calipers are simple but effective tools for taking precise measurements. They are often used in conjunction with other measuring tools for more accurate results.

A spring divider, also known as a spring compass or simply a divider, is a precision measuring tool used in various fields, including metalworking, woodworking, and drafting. It consists of two pointed legs joined at a hinge, with a spring mechanism that allows for fine adjustment and precise control of the distance between the points.

The primary function of a spring divider is to scribe circles, arcs, or measure distances accurately. The user can adjust the opening between the points by turning a thumbscrew or by manipulating the legs directly. The spring tension keeps the legs in position once set.

Spring dividers are commonly used in layout work, marking out patterns, and ensuring accurate measurements in various projects. They come in different sizes, and some may have additional features such as an adjustment wheel for fine-tuning the spacing between the legs.
