Caliper KS Tools 300.0552 Weight 150 g

The KS Tools caliper 300.0552 is a compact precision measuring instrument weighing approximately 150 g, designed to deliver reliable linear measurements for workshop and hobby use. Built with focus on accurate edge-to-edge and internal measurements, this caliper suits tasks where repeatable dimensional checks are required. Its balanced weight and ergonomic shape facilitate steady handling during measurement operations.

Advantages

This caliper provides precise readings with consistent contact points and a stable frame that reduces measurement variability. The lightweight construction at 150 g offers a comfortable feel for extended use without causing user fatigue. Materials and machining are chosen to ensure dimensional stability and resistance to regular workshop conditions, supporting long-term usability.

Suitable for

• Measuring external dimensions of small parts and components
• Checking internal diameters and clearances
• Depth measurements of grooves and holes
• Routine quality control and inspection tasks in workshops
• Hobbyist and DIY measurement requirements

Key specifications

• Approximate weight: 150 g
• Type: caliper for linear measurements (external, internal, depth)
• Construction: precision machined frame for stable contact
• Ergonomics: compact, balanced design for handheld operation
• Measurement capability: suitable for small to medium sized parts (see manufacturer documentation for exact measuring range)

How to use

Hold the caliper by its body with the jaws aligned to the part to be measured. For external measurements, position the outside jaws around the component and slide until both jaws contact the surfaces without excessive force. For internal measurements, open the inside jaws inside the bore until they contact opposite sides. For depth measurements, extend the depth blade into the feature and read the value. Ensure the measuring faces are clean and the caliper is zeroed or referenced before taking critical measurements.

Recommendations

Store the caliper in a protective case or dry drawer to prevent damage and contamination. Clean measuring faces after each use and avoid exposing the tool to corrosive substances. When highest accuracy is required, calibrate the caliper periodically and use stable ambient conditions to reduce thermal influences on measurements.
