Brake pad thickness checker
Sometimes I don't want to pull the wheel off just get an idea about my pad thickness. I made this device for a quick and dirty check. Hook one wire to the backing plate, push the other to the rotor. Carefully remove and you know how much pad is left.

where was this idea about 5 years ago!
the car lost billions of sales because we were never were able to see the brake pad thickness without taking off the wheel!

I'm sure there will be a spike in sales now that this device is out there. Best invention since the reservoir tipped condom. IMHO.
