A must for all hobbyists

Junts works! Super easy and simple. Remove the tire, choose a colored knife and place it on the brake pad to measure the thickness.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Good but not great

But this is instead of a tool trolley.

It's twice as expensive on a truck but does the same thing. I don't see the point of buying something like this just because it says "blue dot" when it only has metal lugs. However, very good quality. I tried to write my name on it but it wasn't very easy because the paint is thick.

Pros
  • Inspires Confidence
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Great for monitoring brake pad life

I have worked with our vehicles for over 25 years and have always checked brake pad wear visually. I saw this handy little tool and thought I'd give it a try. That works great. Easy to use. Made from very durable powder coated metal. A great addition to any tool box. Allows you to measure the life of your brake pads as they wear to see if they are wearing evenly.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Durable and easy to use

If your vehicle has space between the spokes, you can easily judge pad wear by the spokes. This is a durable painted steel tool. Just don't be stupid like me and measure the distance under the bevel of the base, not under the base plate! I thought I needed pads when I had 80% left. Measurement with the wheel off is less prone to human error. But I don't blame the tool.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Requires socket

Worked great for me!

My car has plenty of space between the spokes of the wheels so I can check the remaining brake pad life on the outer brake pads without having to remove the wheel with this tool and a flashlight. I suppose the internal pads (which I can't measure) may be different, but I've found that I don't get as many pad replacement recommendations if I can tell a service advisor that I just had them checked and they look like this. I have about 5mm left in the front and 7mm in the back. My mechanic checks…

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
