It looks like a cheap spark plug gap gauge. Looking closely, I think I can even see the inch fraction marks. Sold near the counter of virtually every auto parts store for about a buck.

Really? The little coin jobbies?

I need to pay more attention. I've been in auto parts stores a lot the past few days.

Yup, I just went out to my tool box and grabbed the one I have. Basically the same thing:

This is silly. Everytime I go to the autoparts store I pick up on of the sparkplug gappers, that cost about a buck. One of these would do the samething at a fraction of the price. I guess I'll just stick with my SAK or multitool.
cheers

They look a bit like a spark plug gap gauge, but there are no increments on it. It's basically a solid, thick washer that goes from its full thickness gradually to thin. For a dozen for $8.50, they're cheaper than the gauges - you just can't buy them individually.

Shipment: ...Orders up to $20 +$7.95...
Maybe some China workshop forgot to put the gap size marks?
But a genius from the marketing department found a solution smile
