Laser Tools has introduced a new combined brake disc and tyre tread depth gauge, a lightweight Vernier-style measuring tool that offers quick and accurate readings and is compact enough for the tightest spaces.

The tool is designed to take into account the ridge that forms on the outer edge of the disc. The user positions the tool onto the disc then closes it up to both outer faces. The locking screw is then tightened to complete the measurement. The technician then simply presses the jaw release mechanism to remove the tool away from the ridge on the disc and the reading is not be disturbed. The reading provides accuracy to tenths of a millimetre.

The tool also includes an easy-to-use tyre tread depth gauge using a probe for easy measurement. This versatile measuring tool is part number 7635 and is available from Laser Tool stockist.
