Jiggers are the basic hourglass-shaped stainless-steel measuring device you've seen in many a bar. Be careful—a number of other sizes exist, and you should know what units you're working in.
Many professional bartenders have built up strong proficiency with using these in settings where speed is of an essence. The way to use a jigger most efficiently is to hold it between thumb and forefinger, or between your first and second fingers, like so:
Hold the jigger steady, and fill it brim-full with your liquid of choice; and then it's easy to quickly tip the contents into a shaker or mixing glass.
Another type of jigger is similar to the hourglass model, but it's mounted on a rod, like the one pictured at top.
