What Are Feeler Gauges Used For?
A feeler gauge is a hand-held tool used for measuring gap widths between two objects that are close together.
They are extremely popular with mechanical engineers as they require a very accurate clearance description between two parts where a caliper or tape measure would not be able to fit.
The feeler gauge tool itself consists of a variety of small lengths of steel (known as blades) of different thicknesses which have size measurements marked along each piece.
Note:
You should always follow vehicle manual or part specifications to prevent damage.
What is the difference between feeler gauges and other measuring tools?
Feeler gauges provides the user with a visual clue of how wide a gap is as it physically fills the gap with it's metal blade.
