When you purchase a feeler gauge set, you may be surprised to learn that you can get feeler gauges with feeler blades made of different types of materials. The most common choices are stainless steel or carbon steel. You definitely want material that will not wear away over time or due to corrosion because this changes the actual size of the feeler blade, which essentially deems it as useless. If you aren’t sure as to which material you need for your feeler blade, you can talk with an Eastern Gage dealer today to find out what will work best for your particular work or application. If neither stainless steel nor carbon steel works for your purposes, your Eastern Gage dealer can find out about other potential materials for you as well.
