### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Neat Little Gauge
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021*

When you can get the tool into position to make a measurement, it works great. Using it is relatively simple, but the vehicle might not cooperate in giving you access. In some cases, I can make the measurement without removing the wheel, in others the wheel must come off. Making the measurement is relatively easy, though, a single-hand operation. It’s nice to have a number and using this device will now be a part of my tire rotation routine.One thing, though, is that the gauge should be protected when stored. First option is to use the little pouch it comes in. Second option is to use the tube from an OTC 7312 seal pick (pictured) if you have one of those laying around, or something similar.

    Great idea, but could a bit more improvement....
  

*by W***W on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2013*

I love the idea of this tool, however it's design still needs a bit more perfecting.It really does make gauging brake pads quick and easy, but as others have state it does not work on all types of caliphers. The color coded indicator make it very easy to read the worn condition of the pads, however it's a little difficult to get the gauge 90 degrees perpendicular against the rotor so you can take a accurate reading of the pads as the gauge is tip is not square or round.The tool is made pretty much of aluminium so it hardly has any weight to it. This is a bad and good thing. It's light to carry around, but so light it feels like I can break it very easily.The other thing I wish it had was a clip on it so I can attach to my shirt pocket.The last thing is that this tool does not work on brake shoes.Overall, I'm happy with this tool. I use it whenever I can to check brakes at work.
