The TiCal Pro 2.0 Kickstarter project introduces a compact measuring tool designed for people who want real caliper functionality without carrying a full-size workshop instrument. Created by InnoZoom, TiCal Pro 2.0 is a titanium dual-scale vernier caliper for EDC, built to measure small parts, everyday objects, 3D prints, hardware, watch components, keyboard parts, screws, spacers, and other precision details on the go.

A full-size caliper makes sense on a workbench. But when the measurement happens outside the workshop, most people either guess or go without the right tool. TiCal Pro 2.0 is designed as the third option: a pocket-sized vernier caliper that fits into an everyday carry setup while still offering a direct, readable, mechanical measurement system.
At the heart of the TiCal Pro 2.0 Kickstarter campaign is true dual-scale vernier measurement. The caliper supports both 0.01″ imperial resolution and 0.1mm metric resolution, allowing users to read inch and millimeter measurements directly from the tool. For makers, engineers, hobbyists, and EDC collectors who often move between metric drawings and imperial parts, this dual-scale layout helps reduce mental conversion and keeps both systems available at a glance.
Unlike basic pocket rulers or novelty measuring tools, the TiCal Pro 2.0 EDC caliper is built around three core measurement functions: outside diameter, inside diameter, and depth. Users can measure the outer width of a screw head, the inner bore of a spacer, or the depth of a small recess using one compact tool. This gives TiCal Pro 2.0 more utility than a flat scale while keeping it small enough to live on a keychain.
The material choice is one of the major selling points of this Kickstarter project. TiCal Pro 2.0 uses Grade 5 titanium, a material selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term everyday carry durability. Titanium helps the tool stay lightweight while resisting sweat, moisture, shop fluids, and regular pocket wear. For EDC users who already appreciate titanium pens, knives, pry tools, clips, beads, and keychain gear, TiCal Pro 2.0 fits naturally into that ecosystem.
The TiCal Pro 2.0 titanium caliper is also designed to feel different in use. One of its signature upgrades is a POM ball rail system, described as a first-of-its-kind slide rail approach for a caliper. Instead of relying on a rough metal-on-metal slide, the rail uses precision POM balls to create a smoother opening and closing motion. For a small measuring tool, that sliding feel matters because it affects how confidently the jaws settle on a dimension.
Another important feature is adjustable damping. TiCal Pro 2.0 lets users tune the sliding resistance with a standard T5H driver. A lighter setting can make quick measurements faster, while a firmer setting can make final measurements feel more deliberate. Once adjusted, the jaw is designed to stay where it is placed without needing a separate locking screw. This gives the tool a more personal, hand-tuned feel.
The dual-scale vernier system is supported by precision laser engraving. Clear markings are important on any caliper, but they become even more important at pocket scale. TiCal Pro 2.0 uses laser-engraved markings designed to remain readable over time instead of fading like printed markings. For users measuring small tolerances, clean lines and strong contrast help make the reading process faster and more confident.
The TiCal Pro 2.0 Kickstarter page also emphasizes that this is not a multi-tool trying to do everything. It does not position itself around gimmicks or extra functions. The main mission is measurement. The tool is built as a dedicated pocket caliper for people who care about dimensions, fit, tolerance, and repeatable precision.
That focus makes the TiCal Pro 2.0 EDC vernier caliper especially relevant for several user groups. Makers can use it for 3D print tolerances, small brackets, parts fitting, and custom builds. Mechanical keyboard users can measure switch plates, stabilizers, keycaps, and small hardware. Watch enthusiasts can check lugs, bezels, spring bars, and small precision components. EDC collectors can measure clips, screws, spacers, scales, beads, and titanium hardware.
The tool is also designed for carry. At around 3.37 inches, TiCal Pro 2.0 is compact enough to fit into an everyday keychain setup. A dedicated keyhole allows it to attach to keys, clips, lanyards, or pendant-style carry systems. The idea is simple: the most useful measuring tool is the one that is actually with you when the measurement comes up.
TiCal Pro 2.0 also includes four integrated tritium slots, sized for 1.5 × 6mm vials. Backers can choose from six vial color options in the post-campaign survey: Ice Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Yellow, and Red. The tritium slots add a low-light EDC detail for users who enjoy glow accents on titanium gear, while keeping the overall design clean and functional.
The Kickstarter project also offers two finish choices, giving backers a way to match their preferred EDC style. Combined with the titanium body, carbon fiber inlays, laser engraving, and tritium slot options, TiCal Pro 2.0 is positioned as both a practical measuring instrument and a collectible precision EDC object.
InnoZoom describes TiCal Pro 2.0 as a complete rebuild based on feedback from the first TiCal Pro. The earlier version was carried by more than 500 backers, and the second-generation design responds to requests for dual scales, improved precision, a more serious measuring experience, and a cleaner focus on caliper functionality. Instead of a small refresh, TiCal Pro 2.0 is presented as a redesigned pocket caliper centered around precision.
The campaign’s reward tiers include single-unit, two-unit, and four-unit options, with free worldwide shipping listed in the available rewards. The included items typically feature TiCal 2.0, a T5H Torx bit for damping adjustment, and optional add-ons. Estimated delivery is listed as October 2026, with several reward levels offering Kickstarter campaign savings compared with the stated MSRP.
The TiCal Pro 2.0 Kickstarter campaign also presents a transparent delivery approach. The creator notes that the design has been tested and validated, while acknowledging possible supply chain delays, manufacturing delays, and additional quality checks related to machining or finishing. The project also highlights long-lasting design, titanium alloy construction, carbon fiber inlays, compact packaging, and durable material selection as part of its environmental commitments.
Overall, TiCal Pro 2.0 is a focused EDC tool for people who measure details instead of guessing them. It combines the portability of a keychain tool with the practical functions of a vernier caliper: outside, inside, and depth measurement; inch and metric dual-scale reading; 0.01″ and 0.1mm resolution; Grade 5 titanium construction; smooth POM ball rail movement; adjustable damping; laser-engraved scales; and tritium-ready personalization.
For anyone searching Kickstarter for a titanium caliper, EDC caliper, dual-scale vernier caliper, pocket measuring tool, Grade 5 titanium EDC tool, or InnoZoom TiCal Pro 2.0, this project offers a compact way to keep precision close at hand. TiCal Pro 2.0 is built around a simple promise: when a small measurement matters, the right tool should already be in your pocket.
