When you are doing flat metal and need calibrated space in between, a wire gauge simply wouldn't be the right tool for the job. But I've been using flat ones all my life for spark plugs, so it would be nice to just have a set that went a little further than .035. I already have safety wire in .040 and .045, but using wire to gap things with just isn't natural for me.
How do you bend the tab down on the spark plug with any precision with a wire one? With the flat ones, you put it in between, tap it with a small hammer, it's done. I guess I am not as coordinated as everyone else.
Thanks for the tips! I went to Auto Zones site and all the other main ones, Grainger, Starrett, McMaster-Carr. A Starrett will cost you close to $100! I can stack the feelers and save alot of money at that rate! Thanks all!
