What I wanted...September 18, 2008 I was looking for an easy way to measure tread wear on a new set of tires. This is a cheap and easy way to do so. It was quite oily when I took it out of the package. Not sure if that is so it slides easily or to prevent rust. It is all metal so possibly for both. Overall I'm happy with it and would recommend it.
Easy to use and functionalJune 24, 2008 This gauge is very easy to use, and provides quick determination of tread depth for each tire. One does not need anything more expensive than this item for its intended purpose.

Oily, but it's cheap and it works. Because of the oil on the shaft, I store it with the shaft completely compressed.
Works just fineApril 3, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this because I can' find them anywhere in any local auto parts vendor. I use it to determine when to replace my tires and measure my tires for winter traction (4/32" minimum for snow - tire tread visual indicators are 2/32" so they are useless to me) so no more guessing or finding those lincoln pennies for me. It works very well but is a little messy since the shaft oil rubs all over your fingers. I keep it safely stored away from dust in my toolbox.

What's to say? It's a tread depth gauge, it either works or it doesn't... this one works. It is built well,easy to use and the price is right.
