  • @awj03130 a feeler gauge is a common tool . Car mechanics use them. They are very inexpensive.

  • great video now my shitty squire bass plays beautifully

  • Where do I find all this tools?

  • @awj03130 I do.

  • Feeler gauge.... funny.... medium/heavy pick or eyesight? lmao.

    Just out of curiosity, how many of you actually own a feeler gauge?

  • what's the name again of the tool you showed before the 6-inch scale?

  • @stridulator ".015 inches or .381 millimeters"

  • Please, is the gauge size .015 milimeters or inches?
