A normal set of calipers has 3 basic modes of measuring things: inside, outside, and depth. It is amazing to me how many people in this thread don't know at least one of those or use them wrong.
Tbf I use mine daily and had to pause a second thinking what would be the third mode. (never use it to measure depth)
At least it makes me feel good that I only just got a set for the first time last week and figured all those out within 5 min of actually using them.
