In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Introducing the Empire 4-7/8 in. L X 11/16 in. W Pocket Caliper in white—a compact, brass precision tool designed to deliver reliable thickness measurements in tight spaces.

Crafted with a brass blade for dependable wear resistance and smooth operation, this pocket caliper stays ready when you need it. Its slim profile (4-7/8 in length and 11/16 in width) slips easily into a pocket or tool bag, making precise thickness checks convenient wherever you work.

How to use

Remove the Empire pocket caliper from your pocket or toolkit. Place one jaw on each side of the surface you’re measuring and read the thickness or gap directly. Because this is a non-digital tool, you’ll rely on the physical scale and your eye for a fast, dependable reading—ideal for quick checks or acceptance testing in busy workstreams.

Care and maintenance

Wipe the brass surface with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove oils and debris. Keep the tool dry and store it in its carded packaging or a dedicated drawer to preserve accuracy. Regular light cleaning helps maintain smooth sliding action and prolongs the instrument’s life.

For anyone who values a reliable, no-fuss thickness gauge that fits in a pocket yet performs with precision, the Empire pocket caliper offers a practical, durable solution tailored to thickness and gap measurements across a range of materials and applications.
