    Color-Coded Feeler Gauge Sets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Feeler Gauges. Color-Coded Feeler Gauge Sets.
    With leaves that are color coded based on thickness, you can read your measurements at a glance. These gauge sets are used to check gaps, alignment, and narrow slots. Gauge leaves are riveted together in a fan design to keep the set complete; the set folds up for portability. Sets are nonmagnetic, nonmarring, noncorrosive, nonsparking, and resistant to oil.

    Color-Coded Feeler Gauges

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Feeler Gauges. Color-Coded Feeler Gauges.
    Since each thickness is a different color, there’s no need to read the feeler gauge to tell your measurement. They are used to check gaps, alignment, and narrow slots. Gauges are nonmagnetic, nonmarring, noncorrosive, nonsparking, and resistant to oil.

    Step 3: Match Flattened Strip to

    Reading Card

    Squish these tiny plastic strips between two components to measure the clearance between them. Once compressed, match the widest part of the flattened strip to the markings on the reading card. Each marking on the card corresponds to a different clearance measurement. For large bearings and wide surfaces, use two or more strips to check for inconsistency.
    Originally designed to check clearances in automotive bearings, these strips also work with cylinder heads, flanges, and other fitted parts. Although generally less precise than calipers and hole gauges, they take clearance measurements in spots that can't be reached after the part is assembled.

    Spark Plug Feeler Gauges

    Keep spark plugs working efficiently. These feeler gauges slide between the electrodes to measure the gap. If the gap is incorrect, they have an adjustment tool to bend the electrode where you need it.

    Gauge with Breakaway Notches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Feeler Gauges. Tapered-Width Feeler Gauges.
    Confirm slots, holes, and mating surfaces on parts are properly sized. Narrow at one end, these feeler gauges measure a range of sizes. Slide them into a hole until the gauge sits snug and then read the width measurement. All have a range of width markings for quick reference. Made of either stainless steel or plastic, they resist corrosion.
    Plastic—Plastic feeler gauges won’t spark if struck and are nonmagnetic. This makes them safe to use with spark plugs and other electronic ignitions. Since they’re nonmarring, they won’t scratch nearby surfaces. Snap away lengths at the breakaway notches to get a snug fit across the width of shallow holes.
