TiCal Pro 2.0: A Titanium Dual-Scale Vernier Caliper for EDC

A full-size caliper belongs in a workshop. 
TiCal Pro 2.0 belongs in your pocket.

You don‘t need it for engine blocks or 12-inch pipe. You need it for that tiny screw. That 3D print tolerance. That heirloom you’re restoring when the workshop is closed.

Before TiCal Pro 2.0, you had two choices:

• Carry nothing and guess.
• Carry a full-size caliper and hate every minute of it.

There was no third option. No pocket-sized instrument you could actually trust.

TiCal Pro 2.0 is that third option.

A true dual-scale vernier caliper. 0.01″ & 0.1mm resolution. ID / OD / Depth. Grade 5 titanium. Small enough to carry. Precise enough to trust.

This is the caliper that belongs in your pocket.

No batteries. No guessing. No conversion. Just a direct, precise reading — every single time.

Refined through hundreds of tiny decisions — all focused on one thing: precision.

This isn't our first pocket caliper. It's our second — and it exists because of the people who carried the first one.

TiCal Pro was something rare: a tool that actually lived in people's pockets. Over 500 backers carried it daily. Measured with it. Tested it in workshops, on job sites, and in moments we never could have predicted.

The response was beyond what we expected. A titanium multi-tool that fit on a keychain — it resonated. It was carried. It was used. It was loved.

And inside the praise, there was something more valuable: honest, thoughtful feedback from people who used the tool every day.

"Give us dual scales."
"Make the precision undeniable."
"Make it feel as serious as the work we're doing."

Some wanted faster readings without mental math. Some wanted inch and metric side by side. Some simply wanted the tool to match their own standards.

A clear pattern emerged. These weren't complaints. They were requests — from people who already loved the idea, and wanted us to take it further.

So that's what we did.

Hundreds of sketches. Dozens of prototypes. Countless tiny decisions that no one would ever notice — unless we got them wrong.

This is what happens when you don’t just listen to feedback.
You honor it.

Not a refresh. Not a tweak. A complete rebuild — around one singular purpose.

The result is TiCal Pro 2.0 — Pure, Unfiltered Precision.

Other pocket tools try to do everything.
We focused on one thing: getting the measurement right.

No bottle opener. No ruler on the back. No gimmicks.

Just a precision instrument that happens to fit on your keychain.

Every change in TiCal Pro 2.0 has a name and a story behind it. Here's exactly what you asked for — and how we delivered.

No more multi-tool distractions. Just the art of measurement, refined. 

Not a small refresh. A complete rebuild around precision.

When you hold TiCal Pro 2.0, you’re holding the endpoint of that obsession. Every bevel. Every laser-etched line. Every micron of sliding clearance. It’s all there for a reason.

A caliper isn’t for flat things. It’s for understanding the complete geometry of the object in your hand.

The outer diameter of a turned shaft. The inner bore of a custom spacer. The depth of a counterbore. 

TiCal Pro 2.0 is purpose-built to measure all three, with jaws and a depth rod machined as integral parts of a single, solid titanium frame. 

No separate tools. No setup. Just pick it up, and in a few seconds, you know the part.

The curse of the global maker: a metric drawing, an imperial workshop. Your brain becomes a converter, and every conversion is a chance for error. 

TiCal Pro 2.0 ends that. 

For the first time in a pocket caliper, inch and metric scales are fully synchronized. Your eye moves from the part to the scale, and the measurement is there — in both systems, simultaneously. 

No math. No pause. No doubt.

Just one precise reading — in both systems, at the same time.

Most pocket rulers give you an estimate. This one gives you an answer you don‘t second-guess.

The problem with cheap calipers isn’t the idea — it’s the execution. Tiny markings. Crowded scales. Slides that drift. At small dimensions, your eyes hesitate. And hesitation becomes error.

TiCal Pro 2.0 ends that.

True dual-scale vernier resolution:

• 0.01″ imperial
• 0.1 mm metric

A fully integrated dual-scale vernier system allows inch and millimeter measurements to align cleanly, directly, and predictably.

One glance. One aligned line. One reading you trust.

Precision Starts With Clear Markings. A precision tool is only as usable as it is readable.

TiCal Pro 2.0 features deeply defined laser-engraved scales designed for fast visibility and clean alignment at small dimensions. 

Sharp lines. Clear contrast. Confident reading. Deep enough to resist daily wear – won’t fade like surface printing.

Because precision begins the moment your eyes touch the scale.

The problem with small calipers isn’t accuracy. It‘s that they feel awful to use. Grindy. Sticky. Unpredictable. 

TiCal Pro 2.0 changes that — with a first-of-its-kind slide rail system. 

Two precision POM balls embedded in the rail. No metal-on-metal grinding.

Just a smooth, silk-like glide every time you move the jaw. You’ll slide it open just to feel it. That‘s how smooth it is.

Most people think precision is something you see. A number. A scale. A perfectly aligned mark.

But once you‘ve used a real measuring tool, you realize: how it moves matters just as much. And where it stops matters even more.

Too loose → the jaw drifts after measurement. The reading never feels settled.
Too tight → every adjustment fights back. You stop trusting your own hand.

TiCal Pro 2.0 lets you tune that feeling to your hand.

A simple, one-time adjustment (With a standard T5H driver) — set the sliding resistance exactly how you like it.

Light and fast for quick checks. Rich and deliberate for that final, critical dimension.

Once set, the jaw stays exactly where you put it. Even after you release pressure. No locking screw to fumble with. No drift. Just certainty.

Set it once. Measure with confidence. Every time.

It’s a caliper. But life isn’t that neat. When a package arrives, and it’s already in your hand, the precisely machined edge of TiCal Pro 2.0 is ready. 

Will it replace your knife? No. But sometimes, the best tool is the one you’re already holding.

So yes—it works.

Why Titanium? Because “Good Enough” Metals Are Not.

Steel is heavy. Aluminum is soft. Plastic is an insult to the work.

Grade 5 titanium gives you the strength of steel at half the weight — plus corrosion resistance that shrugs off sweat, rain, and shop fluids.

It will arrive cold and precisely weighted. Over time, it will warm to your touch and pick up the unique map of your work — a patina that tells your story. 

This isn’t a disposable tool. It’s an heirloom in the making. 

Here’s what titanium actually means. It doesn’t care.

Some people only need an approximate answer. Others keep measuring until it feels right.

TiCal Pro 2.0 was built for the second kind.

• EDC gear & titanium hardware – Because every clip, screw, and spacer deserves a perfect fit.
• Mechanical keyboards & small parts – Switch plates, stabilizers, keycaps: 0.1mm changes everything.
• Makers, mods & custom builds – From 3D prints to one‑off brackets, measure once, cut once.
• Watches & precision components – Lugs, bezels, spring bars: tolerance is not optional.

If you see what others overlook, you‘re already one of us.

Anywhere. Anything. Measured.

It's designed to stay with you — not stay in a toolbox.

A precision tool is useless if it isn’t with you when the measurement matters. That’s why TiCal Pro 2.0 was designed around carry from the beginning.

At just 3.37”, TiCal Pro 2.0 disappears into your everyday setup while staying instantly accessible.

TiCal Pro 2.0 Stop Feeling Like Tools. A dedicated keyhole integrates directly into your carry system.

• Keychain
• Pendant carry

Almost could be anywhere in your life. No reason to leave it behind again.

With four integrated tritium slots(1.5*6mm), TiCal Pro 2.0 keeps a quiet presence long after the lights go out — clipped to your keys, resting in your pocket, waiting where it always does.

Six vial colors available: Ice Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Red. You'll choose yours in the post-campaign survey.

Not bright. Not distracting. Just enough to remind you it’s there.
