Choosing a feeler gauge
Work out the thickness range you need, then choose metric or imperial to match your specifications. Longer strips reach into deeper or more restricted gaps, while loose blades let you replace a single worn blade or build a custom stack. Valve adjustment sets are made for engine work. Always check the data sheet for the exact thicknesses in each set.
Using a feeler gauge
Choose the blade closest to the expected gap and slide it in. It should have a light drag, neither loose nor forced. To confirm a clearance, find the thickest blade that goes in and the thinnest that does not; the true gap sits between the two. Never force a blade, as it can bend the leaf and affect later readings.

Feeler Gauges FAQs
What is a feeler gauge used for?
A feeler gauge is a set of thin metal blades of known thickness, used to check small clearances and gaps. Common uses include engine valve clearance, spark plug electrode gap, bearing endfloat and machine setup checks.
What is the go/no-go technique?
It is a way to confirm a clearance is within tolerance. Find the thickest blade that slides into the gap and the thinnest that will not. The true clearance sits between the two.
Can I buy single feeler blades?
Yes. Maxigear loose steel feeler strip blades are listed in metric and imperial, and you choose the thickness you need. They are useful for replacing one worn blade or building a custom stack.
