Screen Calipers can be used with any program where fast and accurate measurements are required. Manipulating the application is simply accomplished through use of the mouse, and a variety of keyboard controls allow for extra fine alignment.
Originally created for graphics and web professionals for onscreen html layout, Screen Calipers is currently being used by thousands of people for hundreds of uses. Screen Calipers has appeal for practically any computer user who stores their photos, plans, diagrams or images on their computer. Screen Calipers can be used for:
Rotation:
360 degrees rotation has been added to the Calipers making them the most useful on-screen measurement application ever made.
Custom units:
Screen Calipers measure in pixels, inches, centimeters, points, picas and twips. Using the configuration screen additional units of measurement can be easily defined to suit any situation.
Keyboard controls:
Screen Calipers has numerous keyboard controls. By pressing Ctrl, Shift and Alt while dragging with the mouse Screen Calipers will extend, rotate or snap to 90 degrees. To aid measurement the Caliper's mouse pointers will change making alignment intuitive and simple.
Skinable interface:
Comes with three additional skins; "Tall" and "Small" help in measurement of large objects and hard to reach areas. The "Technical" skin adds extra buttons for expert alignment. Many more skins in a variety of colors and styles are available for download from the iconico.com website.

It's called PixelStick, http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17836
I made a pixel test using these two apps and I got different results. According to my test, using these two programs simultaneously, they give different measurements, and there was no way I could have been mistaken, since one app gave me an even pixel value and the other one gave me an odd pixel value, so if I had somehow misinterpreted their graphical gui's, the results should have differed with 2 pixels (depending on where you presume that the ends of their 'rulers' are). But, again, I got an even/uneven mismatch in the pixel values.
When I brought a screenshot picture of these two apps into Apple's Preview application, and cropped the image after the two application's ruler start and end points, it turned out that the measure given by PixelStick was the same as the new cropped image's size.
Note that I'm not a rocket scientist, so my test might be totally faulty. Maybe they are both right (I read something on PixelStick's website about the fact that there is a difference between pixels and points, and that OSX uses mostly a points measurement system.)
(Sorry if my english fails me and if I'm not making any sense in that observation report. I tried my best.)
Anyway, I thought I'd mention this other app also, for you to decide whichever you prefer. PixelStick also has a very neat ability to show the center point betwee two points. In general, PixelStick looks more geometrically appealing and concise, while Screen Calipers looks more "gear'ish".
