The form mércékkel is the instrumental plural of mérce, and it is used to indicate the tools or instruments by means of which something is measured or compared. In practice, mércékkel can refer to rulers, calipers, gauges, or any measuring instruments used collectively.

In grammar, mércékkel stands as a plural instrumental form.
