Sturdy for size and gets into tight spots.
I have this and the old standard style gauges. Whenever the other will not fit, this one will. Takes a couple of uses to get used to this product, but works real well once comfortable with reading and using. I would recommend getting this to go along side your other gauge, great addition. Thanks.
This product is quick, easy to use, and effective. I only rated it at four stars simply because on some vehicles the diameter of the tool makes it difficult to get an accurate measurement. (Won't fit between caliper bracket and pad) However, you can usually use this on the outside pad without issue. It's just a better habit to measure the inside pad to ensure the slide pins aren't sticking.
I purchased to use at work. I also have the standard type gauge most people use (red, yellow, green gauge). This will let you measure pads thickness without pulling the wheels most of the time. Very compact with red, yellow, green scale. Also has numbered markings like a tread depth gauge. Spring loaded measures distance between rotor and backing plate of pad. Also very good for measuring thickness of inner pad while you're changing oil. Numbered markings are in millimeters. I still use the conventional brake gauge as well. The 6569 gauge is a good addition to your toolbox.
I use it for my business and the customers really like that we use a real tool the measure the pads.
OTC's No. 6596 Brake Pad Gauge allows for a definitive measurement of brake pads to determine remaining life. The unique design allows for measurement on the vehicle without the removal of any components in most cases (wheel assembly or brake caliper). This handy tool provides quick, easy verification of brake pad condition via a color code scale - Red means No, Green means Go! Crafted with rugged materials to ensure long term performance and durability. Calibration procedure: when probe tip is in locked position (resting on either body ledge), barrel measurement should be 4mm - adjust set screw and end screw as necessary to achieve 4mm measurement. Value is at the core of the OTC tool and equipment portfolio. For a simple repair or the most complex drivability concern, these award-winning tools universally solve problems faster, and at better value, than any other product line available. Whether its a specialty tool or unique piece of service equipment, OTC provides top solutions to modern automotive service challenges while increasing technicians productivity and shop profits.
