Tapered Steel Feeler Gauge Set

Excelente producto

Good quality at a fair price. I'll be buying another set for my other shop.

These came quickly and were put to use setting up my 3D printer and they worked great. The only caveat is that they really do come covered in machining oil. Nothing that a quick wipe down with some paper towels didn't fix but if that oil got on the bed of the 3d printer it would have been trouble! Knowing that they were coming this way was a good heads up and they have been put to good use on several different projects so far.

These are a nice set for the $$, the markings are a bit faint, but still readable, only reason I gave 4 stars.

Just what I needed. Lots of blades to help me measure spaces while I work on auto engine parts.

The feeler gauges are quite bendable and easy to get into the motor valve areas of motorcycle engines that often require a bit of a contortion to reach. It allowed me to do valves without having to totally remove the tank which I dislike to do since I always forget to leave them near empty and am lifting heavy tanks in and out.

Todo bien

I will keep this feeler gauge set, but I have concerns. The blades come installed in the retainer band in random order. It is as if the thirty gauges were picked, then randomly bunched together and places in the holder. This is easily fixed, but why should I have to The thirty gauges have markings on them that indicate the thickness of each feeler. Only about five of them are easily readable. The remainder are so faintly etched on that I have to hold them at an angle and get light to reflect just right before I can read them. This is irritating. My last concern is the quality of the stainless steel. This set came heavily coated in oil and then enclosed in three progressively larger plastic bags. True stainless steel should not need to be coated in oil. Stainless certainly does not need so much oil that I have to spend time wiping oil from each feeler gauge before they can be used. Time will tell if they rust. Having said all of that I will also say that this set is priced cheap -- cheap enough that I will overlook the faults for now, but only barely cheap enough.
