1. Calibrated from 0 to 1 inch in 1/32 inch, the tire tread depth gauge instrument accurately detects tread depth.

3. Yellow Range on the bar: 3/32 - 6/32; 5. Green Range on the bar: 6/32 - 32/32; Tire tread depth gauge: Red range on the bar: 0-3/32;#

Review:

The depth is displayed when you insert the gauge into your tire tread. Easy.However, a few things jump out. The colors make it simple to identify the tread depth and when a tire needs to be replaced. Green denotes success, yellow a forewarning, and red urgent replacement. The color-coded stick doesn't move or retract into the metal sleeve after you take a measurement until you press on it. That isn't always the case with other products, and you risk losing the measurement.While I enjoy the metal clip on this gauge, I don't anticipate ever attaching it to my shirt pocket. The gauge's pointed end is, well, pointy, and it can be problematic. I can picture this gauge getting misplaced in a toolbox or garage because it is so little. I wish it had a chain or other hanging mechanism so that it could be hung from a pegboard.

Review:

The kit itself is fantastic and has about everything you could possibly need. Although the components are quite reasonably priced, the online fuse was perhaps the weakest link.I double and triple checked everything, but I still wasn't able to find out why the amp wasn't getting power. I had to pull out the multimeter to confirm there was no 12 volts at the red wire's battery end. I discovered that it wasn't flowing through the online fuse because I had 12 volts at the battery. I spent some time disassembling it and fumbling with it before using tin foil to plug the gap where the fuse wasn't making contact.NOT the best option, and only a short-term fix.I now need to invest in a new fuse holder for the long run.

Review:

My tech left the old one, which I had for 15 years, in a customer's engine compartment, where it got lost when they drove off with it, so I had to buy this one as a replacement. This gauge has assisted me in appropriately setting idle air mixes for the many carbureted vehicles I see and repair on as well as in diagnosing PB problems after installing mild or aggressive cams. I'm not sure how well this new one will perform, but the one that my tech lost, I was actually run over by a car with once; it only broke the face but was still reliable enough to use. If they have the tool available, I strive to purchase OTC over Snap-On or Matco because I believe they are constructed better and are simply more affordable.

Review:

These gauges are among those products that you can really tell are good quality because of how neatly they are packed. The gauge itself feels extremely robust and is somewhat heavy for its size. Since my gauge holders were a little bit longer than the mounting hardware that came with them would allow, I had to wrap the exterior of the gauge with electrical tape to make it fit tightly inside.The gauge is really accurate and performs as promised.Overall, for measuring boost, this gauge is among the best available. Definitely a good investment! If there is anything I can clarify, kindly let me know.
