I remember growing up my dad, an amazing mechanic, carried one on his key chain so it was always handy..
I understand now, why he did..
An amazing product. Heavier duty than thin feeler gauges and extremely easy to use.
Quickly check spark plug gap and adjust if needed, without searching through a stack of flat feeler gauges to try and find the right thickness!
It's not dead-on accurate, but good enough for a daily driver, lawn mower, etc. Keep in mind that the gap increases as the plug wears anyway, so all you are doing is taking an initial reading.
As an example, this gauge shows .042 on a plug that actually gaps at .045 with a calibrated wire. The error is does not make a difference with most vehicle systems.
It is fairly easy and quick to use, but you still have to pay attention to the angle you hold it at, and be aware that ground electrodes can have a burr because they are shear cut. If you are really picky, use a single-ended wire gauge instead.
