FAQs
Is this gauge suitable for spark plug gaps?
Yes, it is highly effective for measuring spark plug gaps provided the specific thickness matches your engine manufacturer's requirements.
Can I use this on a guitar?
Absolutely. It is a popular tool for luthiers to measure string height and verify neck relief.
Will the markings wear off?
No, the markings are laser-etched into the stainless steel, making them permanent and resistant to fading.
How should I clean the gauge?
Simply wipe it down with a dry or slightly oiled lint-free cloth after each use to keep it clean and rust-free.
Is this tool flexible?
Yes, the high-quality stainless steel provides the necessary flexibility to reach tight or awkward gaps.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting the gauge into the gap.
Ensure the gap is free of carbon buildup or obstruction and that you are using the correct thickness size.
Laser markings are difficult to read.
Wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove dust or grease; if necessary, use a fine tip marker to highlight the etched numbers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Harfington Feeler Gauge, always keep the surface clean and free of grit. After use in oily environments, wipe the blade down with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove residues that might cause corrosion over time. Store the gauge in a dry place to maintain its rust-resistant properties. Before beginning any measurement, verify that the area being measured is clear of debris to ensure an accurate reading. If the gauge becomes slightly bent, avoid using it for critical measurements, as even minor deformations can skew the accuracy of your gap analysis.
