Useful and easy to use

Product does what it should, seems accurate. Nice clear numbers. Quick delivery.

Très satisfait de cet appareil au prix très raisonnable. L'affichage est clair et facile à lire, mais si vous ne faites pas attention lorsque vous le retirez du pneu pour lire le résultat, celui-ci peut changer. Un petit point : j'ai dû réinitialiser l'appareil à la réception car aucun des boutons ne fonctionnait, mais cela est clairement indiqué dans la notice d'utilisation.

This is a tool that does multiple jobs, whether you realize that or not! I use it as a depth gauge for determining how long a screw to use in certain applications. The measuring rod is small enough in diameter to fit into a fairly small hole, so this tool can tell me how long a screw I can use... in cases where I don't want the screw to protrude or interfere with anything on the other side of whatever it is I'm working on. Works great.

やはり正確な測定と言うか数字が欲しい。価格が高いと買えないので色々物色していましたが、こちらが手頃かと選択機能面では全く問題なく、また利用に関してはとても使いやすい日々使う物ではありませんが、使いたい時にサッと使えるのは大事だと思います。

I can’t really comment on the product’s performance as a tire tread depth gauge, because I used it for a completely different purpose: a gauge to measure the flatness of the bottom of a skillet. And it proved very effective.Unfortunately, many skillets are far from flat, causing the oil or other fat to run off to the sides. It’s easy enough to lay a straight edge across the bottom of a pan and look at the concavity, but to speak meaningfully of flatness, one must be able to quantify it, and I could not find a ready-made tool for making such a measurement. Most depth gauges—including expensive ones—have fairly short bases; what’s needed is to combine a depth gauge with a straight edge; in this case, the tread depth gauge was combined with a piece of aluminum angle; total cost was under $30.As can be seen from the first photo, there is a serious problem with that skillet; suffice it to say that a 2.07 mm bulge in the center causes almost all of the oil to run off to the side. The skillet in the second photo has a bulge of 0.46 mm, and it works fine. What’s an acceptable bulge? This tool cannot answer that question, but it is possible to measure what works and what doesn’t; in this case, the answer is clearly somewhere in between. The manufacturer of the first skillet claim they have no flatness spec; I have no reason to not believe them. Unsurprisingly, the manufacturer of the second skillet use an industrial-grade flatness tool—which also looks bespoke—but it’s clearly far more expensive than what I put together here, and far more than I ever could justify.FeaturesAmong other things, I chose this model because of fairly small diameter of the depth bar tip, which allows measurement of the center of a pan.The dynamic zero—probably standard on digital gauges of this type—is essential in my implementation because the bottom of the gauge is 1/8 inch above the bottom of the straight edge; accommodating this offset with most mechanical gauges would be awkward. The gauge seems to retain its zero after the display times out, saving the need to re-zero on a good, flat surface.Although it’s not indicated on the box, the gauge can be turned on by slightly moving the depth bar, which is slightly easier than pressing the on/off button.I honestly don’t see a big audience for this application; a consumer should not need to function as a manufacturer’s final inspection. But for someone who’s fussy about cookware, this could be a useful tool. And perhaps there are other, similar applications.Getting back to the product’s intended purpose: were I to use it as a tread depth gauge, as others have mentioned, I’d probably want a model that also indicated in 1/32’s of an inch, because that’s what’s used in many US state laws. Amazon offer quite a few versions of essentially the same product that offer that feature. But in this case, that feature wasn’t necessary.Several other reviewers have complained about durability; I haven’t had the product long enough to comment.

So I got a digital gauge cause I'm a delivery driver with a need of such a tool all the time. So I bought one and as soon as I get it out of the box the battery cover broke off and wouldn't go back on and so I just taped it and used it and got to using it on my tires and after the second tire I got the depth of and I went to the third tire. The digital gauge went all heywire and starting going all the way up to like 10000 to -10000 on the screen fast both ways and the needle wasn't even moving and it wouldn't turn off and the zero button wouldn't work and took battery out and still did the same so I got a replacement sent and got it and the battery cover was intact this time. And I had the gauge sitting in the van for a day and got back next day and the number kept changing without the needle moving again before I even used the device. This device is cheap and not at all functional for me

Not a terrible tool, just seems very cheaply made and the display is small. Worth it for the price and it’s better than others I’ve seen that are all cheap plastic. Would’ve paid more for something with a larger display and a more solid (heavy) build.

A good tool to accurately measure your tread depth. Since most tire dealers provide tread depth in 32nds of an inch, it'd be an improvement to provide that same measurement with this tool rather than requiring you to make the conversion.

This is my first impression review as it’s a recent purchase and I’ve only used it a few times. It Works like other micrometers that I’ve used before. Has a good read out/display. Easy to read.So far it’s seems as though it’s a Good quality, it’s not chincey and it will work for my intended purpose.My intended purpose is as follows:to help me when rotating my tires to see if one is wearing more than another. This will help me to determine if I have a wear issue and if I need to go further testing with a more precise instrument. So this is like a basic diagnostic tool for me. This gauge is precise enough to help me with this objective.NOTE: that I don’t have a precision gauge to test it against but so far I like this one.Therefore, For my intended purpose and for price point it’s a good value for my money.

As a claims adjuster I inspect vehicles involved in auto accidents every day. Many of them are deemed total losses and in order to determine what their value was prior to being damaged, it is important to rate the vehicle's condition in many areas. Most of this is done visually and through photo documentation. However, I must also measure the tread depth of all 4 (or more) tires. A totaled vehicle with 4 bald tires will have a bit less value than one with 4 new ones. This tool can also assist when selling your car on line and will help the buyer know more about the vehicle's condition. The product itself is compact, lightweight, slim and fits easily in any pocket. It can be switched from metric to standard measurement and has a button to clear the prior measurement. Since I photo everything the best part is the digital numbers are easy to read and see in pics. It comes with a battery installed as well as an extra and since the product is only used a few seconds at a time, it should last a very long time. Great product for auto body and service centers as well as insurance appraisers. The every day Joe may not need this much but very nice product for the money. Keep in mind this is not an air pressure gauge, just tire tread depth.

Decisamente soddisfatto, prezzo realmente basso e fa il suo dovere egregiamente. Io lo utilizzo per lavoro e confrontato con un altro che costa ben 3 volte in più risulta molto efficente. Arriva anche con una batteria di scorta, consiglio sempre di azzerarlo ad ogni misurazione.
