The Kastar KH316A Feeler Gauge is an essential precision tool designed for professional technicians and mechanics requiring accurate gap measurements in challenging access areas. This 16-blade feeler gauge features a specialized 45-degree offset, making it ideal for checking clearances in confined spaces that standard straight blades cannot reach. Constructed for durability and consistent performance, it provides reliable measurements critical for optimal equipment function.
Key Features
- 16 Precision Blades: Includes a comprehensive set of 16 blades with thicknesses ranging from .005" to .020" (.127mm to .508mm) for a wide array of measurement needs.
- 45-Degree Offset Design: Each blade features a 1-inch, 45-degree offset, specifically engineered for efficiently checking valve clearances and other tight automotive applications where straight blades are impractical.
- Durable Construction: Blades are crafted from high-quality, hardened steel, ensuring long-lasting accuracy and resistance to wear and deformation in professional environments.
- Dual-Marked for Convenience: Both decimal (imperial) and metric equivalents are permanently etched onto each blade for quick and error-free identification.
- Secure & Organized: The blades are housed within a sturdy holder, keeping them organized and protected when not in use.
Applications
The Kastar KH316A Feeler Gauge is a versatile tool indispensable for various automotive and industrial tasks. It is commonly used for precisely setting valve clearances in engines, checking spark plug gaps, and accurately tuning carburetors. Beyond engine maintenance, this feeler gauge excels in industrial machinery alignment, verifying bearing clearances, and measuring piston ring gaps, ensuring components operate within specified tolerances to prevent premature wear and maintain optimal performance. Its offset design makes it particularly valuable for accessing difficult-to-reach areas on heavy-duty equipment and various mechanical assemblies.
