Long-Lasting

Accurate and Reliable
If the user is aware of its limitations (see below), a jenny caliper can provide a high degree of accuracy and reliability.
Easy to Maintain
Unless they are misused, jenny calipers require little maintenance apart from the occasional oiling of parts.
Disadvantages of Jenny Calipes
Although there are advantages of choosing a jenny caliper, there are also some disadvantages and times where other measuring devices will be better suited.
Another measuring tool is required
Since they do not have a scale of their own, jenny calipers must be used alongside another measuring tool such as a ruler or micrometer.
Limited Accuracy
Jenny calipers are not suitable for precision measurements. The accuracy of measurements is limited by that of the measuring tool they are used with.
