Works well and is accurate.
Review by RacerX -
Price Value Quality I tested this on a car with known filler spots. It was dead on with the areas that were thin and the ones that were thick. Getting the angle of the tool just right can be a little tricky - if it is reporting 1/16" of filler, rock the tool slightly to each side just to be sure.
The only thing I would change about the product would be to get rid of the clumsy screwdriver used to change the battery and use that money to include a nice pouch to keep it and the verification plate in.
