You remove the pad from the caliper, close your eyes and feel. Preferably with your finger tips. This way one can judge quite accurately between how much pad material is remaining. The only thing to be careful of is if you drop the pad with your eyes closed someone might swap the pad from the car with a layer of fiber board glued to the backing plat . If this happens it feels like you have remaining pad but will be disastrous when it comes time to use the brakes.

What if, and this may sound crazy but, what if you left your eyes open and looked at the pad as you removed and felt it? Then there would be no risk of someone swapping the pad with a cheap replica as you judged its remaining service life.
