Comments

The Feisty Goat: Purchased to replace the traditional, flimsy and hard to read tread-depth gauges in my shop.

This one has a much higher degree of accuracy (shows increments within 1/32"), and doesn't require any squinting or staring at tiny numbers on a plastic stick.

I keep it in one of my go-to drawers in the shop, inside its case for protection. It's very sturdy and solid feeling.

My one fault (yes, mine - not the tool's) is that I have not yet tested it directly against the traditional stick gauges for tread depth accuracy. I was just excited to finally use this one, as I hate the stick gauges.

But for overall function, this tool is wonderful for the money if you work on cars regularly.

Hope this helps some folks in their search.

Worth it: Been using it everyday, multiple times a day for a year. Easy to read, durable and dependable. Even comes with a nice leather case that it never gets to see lol.

russell frederick: Coworker bought one just like it from a different manufacture. I have other Steelman tools.
So I bought this one, think they are all made in the same factory.
They should segment it a bit wider(to many dashes between numbers) If it's between 6 and 7 you can't have " 6 1/2 /32" " of an inch as 32s is the standard. Just round up/down no biggie.
Seems pretty tuff dropped a couple times ,shop environment.

Michael Perreault: It is built very well and easy to use. The pouch is a nice touch to keep it clean in the toolbox.

Douglas LoeschDouglas Loesch: I have purchased 6 of these to use for myself and coworkers. They are very easy to use and not visible to read than other types. Seems to be more accurate than digital ones. Have received one of them that the clear cover arrived loose.

Frank Novelli: I recently purchased a product from Amazon, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and effectiveness of this product.

First and foremost, I love how easy it is to use. The instructions were clear, and the product was straightforward to apply. It seamlessly integrated into my daily routine without any hassle.

The product clearly delivered on its promises, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

It's evident that the company put thought into making this product user-friendly and efficient.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Darby Hood: The only issue I have with this tire gauge is the plastic lens covering the needle came off in the packaging and I needed to super glue it back on.

One recommendation to the manufacturer, make a new version but spring loaded! Then it will be the best tire gauge ever! Also the measurements are kind of weird, how do I say 6.25/32nds of an inch??

Anthony SharpAnthony Sharp: If you are in the market for a digital tire depth gauge this is probably the one to buy this gauge is the exact same one as the one sold by MAC tools, and about 15$ cheaper nicely measures in metric and imperial/SAE, it has three modes Millimeters, inches and fractions, the range is 0-25.4mm/0-1" and it seems fairly accurate, it has a nice clear display and comes with a battery (cr2032 3volt), the construction is mostly plastic as you'd expect for the price, only issue I have is it feels a bit light and cheap and the actual plunger/pin is plastic but at the end of the day its a digital tool for less then 30$ and I'd recommend it if you want something like this even if it's a bit unnecessary. Or if you are a tire tech/doing lots of inspections this takes all the thinking out of it!
