Feeler gauges

[voicey]

I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I'm after a set of metric feeler gauges that are bent/angled. I can find loads of imperial gauges with the metric equivalent printed on them but I need them to be sized in metric thicknesses. I have a set of straight ones but can't get them into the space I'm working with right now.

Cheers...

Struggling to visualise what you mean by bent/angled. Obviously you can fold a straight feeler gauge out of plane very easily so I guess you don't mean that. It would also be simple to put a diagonal fold in a straight feeler gauge so that you ended up with a very short feeler with a bend in it. If neither of those will do what you want, I suppose you could make a one-off feeler whatever shape you want using shim stock of similar (offcuts of a fizzy drink can can come in very handy).

Get some straight ones and bend the ends.

See your local Snap -On dealer he will have 45 deg angled feelers on stock , range from oo to how fn much

Neither of our Snap On guys could supply what I wanted nor could the Tooltruck so I ended up bending a set of straight ones.

The simplest solutions are usually the best.
