Review on Fowler 72-520-757: Enhance Braking and Suspension Precision with Economy Disc Brake Rotor and Ball Joint Gauge Set by Marco Mooney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Some good, some difficult

Decided to go back to the workshop to do basic and less basic maintenance on our vehicles, mainly due to the increasing cost of basic maintenance in dealerships and workshops. I needed a basic set of reasonable quality sensors. The project was to replace the rear rotors of a Toyota SUV. While the gauge worked as advertised, I have to admit that this gauge changed a lot more by being attached to the vehicle and holding the gauge in one place firmly and precisely enough for the gauge to work properly. During the first two attempts, the manometer slowly moved away from the rotor, giving inaccurate readings. After devising a method of attaching the gauge and spending a lot of time getting it in place and keeping it stable, it worked well. For the level and frequency of work I do and require, this tool was adequate. In terms of value for money, it's far from the most expensive and not the cheapest, so I'd say the price matches the quality and functionality. Cameron
