Feeler Gauge, a precision tool used to measure gap widths orclearance between two parts, ensuring they fit or move together with the properamount of space between them. This tool consists of a set of thin metal blades,each with a precise thickness, which can be used individually or in combinationto measure small clearances in mechanical work, automotive repair, machining,and other precision tasks.
A feeler gauge is an essential tool for anyone involved in precision work,particularly in automotive repair, machining, and manufacturing. Its ability toaccurately measure small gaps and clearances ensures that mechanical parts fitand function properly, reducing wear and improving performance. Compact,versatile, and precise, a feeler gauge is a must-have in any tool collectionwhere accuracy is paramount.

Applications
Automotive Repair
- Valve Clearance: Used to measure and adjust the clearancebetween the valve tappet and the valve stem in an engine, ensuring properengine performance.
- Spark Plugs: Used to check the gap between the electrodesof spark plugs, which is critical for proper ignition and engine efficiency.
- Brake Components: Can be used to measure the gap betweenbrake pads and rotors or other components in the braking system.
Machining and Manufacturing
- Tool Setup: Used to set precise gaps between cuttingtools and workpieces on lathes, milling machines, or other machining equipment.
- Bearing Clearance: Measures the clearance between bearingsand their housings, ensuring proper fit and function.
- Surface Contact: Ensures that two surfaces are in propercontact with each other, or identifies the size of a gap that needs adjustment.
General Engineering
- Mechanical Assembly: Ensures proper spacing betweenparts in mechanical assemblies, reducing wear and ensuring smooth operation.
- Inspection and Quality Control: Used in quality controlto verify that assembled parts have the correct clearance as specified byengineering designs.
Plumbing and HVAC
- Gasket Installation: Ensures that gaskets are properlyseated with the correct compression and clearance.
- Pipe Fittings: Measures gaps in pipe fittings to ensurethey are correctly aligned and sealed.
