OTC Brake Pad Gauge

The OTC's No. 6596 Brake Pad Gauge is a versatile tool that enables a definitive measurement of brake pads to determine their remaining life. Designed with a unique approach, this handy tool allows for measurements to be taken directly on the vehicle, in most cases, without the need to remove any components, such as the wheel assembly or brake caliper. This feature provides quick and easy verification of the brake pad condition through a color-coded scale – with red indicating the need for replacement and green signifying that the pads are still in good condition.

Crafted with rugged materials, the OTC Brake Pad Gauge is built to ensure long-term performance and durability. The calibration procedure is straightforward: when the probe tip is in the locked position (resting on either body ledge), the barrel measurement should be 4mm. Adjustments to the set screw and end screw can be made as necessary to achieve the 4mm measurement.

At the core of the OTC tool and equipment portfolio is the unwavering commitment to value. Whether it's a simple repair or a complex drivability concern, these award-winning tools universally solve problems faster and with better value than any other product line available in the market.

The design of the OTC's Brake Pad Gauge is a testament to the company's innovative approach. By allowing measurements to be taken directly on the vehicle, without the need for component removal, the tool saves time and effort for automotive technicians. The color-coded scale further simplifies the brake pad condition assessment, making it easy for users to quickly determine the remaining life of the pads.

Durability is another key aspect of the OTC Brake Pad Gauge.
