Best set available for valve clearance checks

All other metric feeler gauges (including my expensive Mitutoyo), come in leaf increments of 0.05mm, while most valve clearance specifications dictate a maximum allowable variance of 0.10mm between being too loose and too tight. This means that all other feeler gauges on the market can only really indicate a pass/fail result and aren't really granular enough to tell you the actual valve clearance values. This has irritated me forever.

This is where the Gedore 702-21M is SO amazing! It's leaf thickness comes in a 0.02mm graduation scale, which means that I can precisely measure the clearance (to within 0.02mm of actual) and select the most ideal valve shim to place the clearance right in the middle of the factory specified range, something that is impossible to do with other feelers that have a 0.05mm graduation.

Extremely happy that I found this! If you do your own motorcycle maintenance, this is an ABSOLUTE MUST!
