Which type of caliper is the easiest to use?
Dial calipers This kind of calipers are relatively easy to use: they have a lined dial that shows the measurement, so that all you have to do is adding the slide measurement to have the exact and final measurement.

Dial calipers generally come in either metric or imperial (but not both), which means you might need two; while a digital caliper can often convert from metric to imperial on-the-fly. Kept free from debris, dial calipers are very accurate.
