I've studied a few of these tread depth gauges. Almost all of them had many negative reviews because they were cheap, unreadable, inaccurate, buggy, and there were different readings between the two sensors. I bought this 2 pack because of the price thinking they would be just as good as any of the others. I can't say anything negative. You are perfect. You are accurate. They work as expected. I think the complainers are people who are difficult to please or untrained in the proper use of this simple tool.
