Car Brake Pad Thickness Gauge Measure Tool with Scale for Brake Shoe Gauge Auto Brake Pad 1.5mm-11mm Thickness Base Plate Brake Pad Tester Brake Pad Detection Pen Scale

Very easy to use and looks very durable. I use it to get a quick reference of what the pads for inspections at my work it fits through almost all wheel spokes and the metal stopper accounts for the back pad measurement.

Okay so far

Very handy tool. I'm a VA State Safety Inspector and it comes in handy when checking brakes. Majority of the time I can measure the thickness of the brake pads without removing the wheel. While not 100% accurate, it's close enough. Whatever reading I get I subtract 1mm to compensate for minor inaccuracies.The one down size to the tool is that it is calibrated assuming all brake pad backings are the same thickness thus the reason for inaccuracies with some measurements and why as a rule of thumb I subtract 1mm to compensate for those variations between varying brake pad backing thickness.

Would be better if it were flexible and a bit longer.

The tool is good for quick non-precise measurements. You can say it's better than nothing. The tool assumes that all of the brake pads have the same metal backing thickness. I don't really use it unless I have to. Knowing this, I would not have purchased it. I can guess-ti-mate the thickness just as well.

Works very well. Well made. I have always measured brakes in, 32nds. This is metric. No worries. 1.5mm = 2/32, 3mm = 4/32. The two fail points we and the state use. Numbers are hard to see for old eyes, back plate on pads vary so not exact, but it eliminates tear down. Do yourself and car owners a favor and get one.

Tool was damaged straight out of the package. I really don’t see how this metal rod was bent so bad, tried using pliers to straighten it out and could barely move it. Almost seems to have been done intentionally.

This tool is great! I bought it on a lark because of how low cost it was. I use this thing multiple times a day at work. It's so much easier to get a pad reading than using the traditional style gauges. Plus I can just stick it in my shirt pocket.It's more accurate than my traditional style gauge that stops at 10mm and skips 7mm and 9mm. This thing goes from 0mm to 12mm.
