The set includes two distinct tools, one optimized for measuring closing shims and the other for opening shims, ensuring proper handling and measurement for each type during valve adjustment.

Can I use this tool on motorcycles other than Ducati?

The tool is precisely engineered for Ducati 7mm valves. While it might physically fit other shims, its accuracy and intended use are limited to the specified application.
