scalers
Tackle box tools
Scalers are tools or devices designed to remove buildup from surfaces.
In dentistry, a scaler is an instrument used to scrape plaque and tarite from teeth.
In computing and electronics, scalers are circuits or software that resize video signals or images to fit different display resolutions.
The term also applies to workers who scale fish or remove bark from logs, and in physics to instruments that count electrical pulses.
