Great product for what it is - actual item is EXACTLY as you'd imagine when looking at the photos in the listing.Main block is aluminum, machined & anodized red.Feeler gauge itself cost approx $5~7 plus tax at retail. So overall this tool (sold with feeler gauge) is a good value.The turn dial closes the gap. This is a much more controlled fashion vs holding the plug in hand and ramming into a flat surface.There is no "pull" / widening-gap function on this tool.To widen, you'd need do it "the old fashioned way" and avoid placing metal in-contact with the positive electrode of the plug.Personally I would have designed this tool differently.About 1/3 of the red block's length is not needed. All this is doing, is having a recess for the the ceramic insulation portion to "sit in"; no contact. As several have pointed out, different plugs with wider ceramic will not sit into this recess, and the tool could not be used.Without this 1/3 section, more plugs would fit, and machining time could also have being saved/skipped.In fact the block length can probably be reduced by 50%.With that savings, what would be of value, is add a feature to enable "widening the gap". A "pull" direction feature.In any case, I see this same item sold by many other retailers on Amazon with different ASIN. There are probably hundreds of thousands of these floating around in Amazon & eBay, across hundreds of sellers.It'll likely be YEARS before inventory is depleted, and (whoever makes this thing) re-do/re-design their tooling for more efficiency & widening-function.

Bought this because my car, being supercharged, requires the gap in my plugs to be at 0.028. OEM is at about 0.035. This helps to take the guess work out of the job. Simply insert the plug, place proper gap tool in between the electrodes and turn the dial. Gapped to perfection. Easy to use and much better than trying the old hammer and gap tool trick.

Perfect to hold plug while setting the gap

When received, you will probably want to put a couple drops of your favorite light oil lube on the turn screw threads and run it through a couple of times. Mine came dry and squeaky out the box.Over all a decent tool but it will have a bit of a learning curve to use. Putting a feeler gauge between the electrode gap and running the tool down on the feeler gauge may not do anything due to possible spring back. May have to just get a feel of ever so tightening it and checking multiple times before calling it good.Lastly, I mic'd the the feeler gauge set that come with it, and it is spot on for accuracy.

The spark plugs I needed this for were too big. Will keep this for future spark plugs that fit

Doesn’t set the same gap to what ever feeler gauge is used.

This is well made and a great idea for gapping plugs. Unfortunately, it's too long for short plugs like those for lawnmowers and chainsaws. Needs an adapter or a shorter tool made for those.
