Two jaws can be opened and closed on a digital caliper. The one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures distance between them. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The laser emits a red dot along the line. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
