PTCO PRECISION PLASTIC FEELER GAUGE 13 BLADES .25 TO 6.0MM

A plastic feeler gauge is a tool used to measure the gap or clearance between two surfaces. Unlike traditional metal feeler gauges, plastic feeler gauges are made from durable plastic materials, making them non-conductive, non-magnetic, and less likely to scratch sensitive surfaces. They are commonly used in applications where metal gauges could cause damage or interference, such as in electronics, automotive work (e.g., measuring spark plug gaps), or precision machinery.

Key Features of Plastic Feeler Gauges:
1. Non-Conductive: Safe for use in electrical or electronic applications.
2. Non-Magnetic: Ideal for environments where magnetic interference is a concern.
3. Lightweight and Durable: Resistant to corrosion and wear.
4. Non-Scratching: Plastic blades are less likely to damage delicate surfaces.
5. Variety of Thicknesses: Available in different thicknesses, often in a set, to measure a range of gaps.

Common Uses:
- Measuring spark plug gaps in automotive engines.
- Setting clearances in machinery or equipment.
- Checking gaps in electronic components or assemblies.
- Precision alignment in manufacturing processes.

Advantages Over Metal Feeler Gauges:
- Safer for use on soft or sensitive materials.
- No risk of short-circuiting in electrical applications.
- Resistant to rust and corrosion.
