This AB Tools 26-blade offset bent feeler gauge (LSR64) is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing precise measurements for engine tune-ups and adjustments. Its key benefit is the dual-marked metric and imperial blades, along with an offset design for accessing tight spaces, ensuring accuracy and ease of use. A potential caveat is that the offset design, while helpful, may require some practice for optimal manipulation in extremely confined areas.

The set includes 26 blades with metric measurements ranging from 0.127mm to 0.762mm and imperial measurements from 0.005" to 0.030".
It is ideal for setting spark plug gaps, checking valve clearances, adjusting ignition points, and other tasks requiring precise gap measurements in automotive and mechanical applications.
Wipe the blades with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For tougher grime or rust, a fine steel wool or a suitable cleaning agent can be used, followed by a light oil coating for protection.
The offset design is particularly beneficial for accessing tight or awkward spaces within an engine bay. For easily accessible areas, it still functions as a standard feeler gauge.
While primarily designed for measuring gaps, the precise thickness of the blades could potentially be used for other delicate tasks requiring known thin measurements, though this is not their intended purpose.
It should be stored in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original case or a protective pouch to prevent the blades from getting bent, scratched, or corroded.
The markings are etched or stamped for durability. With proper care and avoiding abrasive cleaning methods, the markings should remain legible for the life of the tool.
Ensure blades are clean and free of debris or corrosion. A very light application of lubricant might help, but wipe off excess before use. Store properly to prevent moisture buildup.
Utilize the offset bent design to its full potential. Experiment with different angles of insertion. If the area is extremely restricted, consider alternative access methods or specialized tools.
Verify you are using the correct blade thickness and that it is not bent or damaged. Ensure the surfaces being measured are clean and parallel. Re-check the calibration or comparison markings.
Clean the blades thoroughly with a fine steel wool or rust remover. Apply a light coat of oil for protection and store in a dry environment.
Setup: This feeler gauge requires no setup. Simply select the appropriate blade for the measurement needed. Ensure the blades are clean before use.
Compatibility: The AB Tools LSR64 is compatible with virtually all internal combustion engines and mechanical devices requiring precise gap adjustments, including automotive, motorcycle, and small engine applications. It is particularly useful for ignition points, spark plug gaps, and valve clearances.
