Discuss Wire gauge/calipers for cable csa in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

I've seldom seen these as I mostly do installation work, but does anyone know of any good calipers or gauge for measuring the csa of a cable?
Had a discussion a while back on conductor CSA as I wondered whether cable CSA was the actual real CSA or the diameter. I purchased a digital vernier calliper off amazon and using pi r squared confirmed it is the actual CSA. Happy days!
easiest way: get diameter, then use pi r ^2

i carry a box of bootlace ferrules on me, useful when terminating flex etc. 0.5mm -6mm.... doubles as a csa checker just try to put one on the wire ends see if it fits and size smaller one does not .
