• Includes non-magnetic blades (typically brass or special alloy) for use in sensitive ignition or electrical applications. 

• Each blade is clearly marked with its metric and imperial (SAE) dimension, making selection quick and accurate. 

• A locking nut / thumbscrew mechanism holds blades firmly in place during measurement to prevent errors.

• The blades are hardened and tempered steel, providing durability, resistance to wear, and reliable longevity.

Typical Uses

• Checking and setting valve clearances in internal combustion engines

• Measuring spark plug gaps

• Adjusting ignition points or distributor contacts

• Verifying and fine-tuning machined parts clearances and fits

• Use in mechanical assembly, engine tuning, or precision maintenance
