I thought those new magnetic brake gauges were just a waste of money.
A guy on my crew in Atlanta swore by his, but I kept using my old feeler gauges. Then we had a job with a tight pit and terrible light, and I watched him set the gap on a Dover Miconic in about 30 seconds flat. I borrowed it for the next car and haven't gone back. Anyone else make the switch and find it actually saves real time?

My buddy in Phoenix had the same exact story with a Dover Miconic last year. I held out for so long because the old way always worked fine, right? But trying to read those thin blades in a dark pit is just a different kind of frustration. That magnetic gauge takes all the guesswork out of it. It feels like cheating, but it just gets the job done so much faster.

Oh man, same thing happened to me. I mean, it just makes those tight spots a total non-issue. I still have my feelers, but the magnet one is what I grab first now.
