Has anyone ever checked theirs out?

Is there any difference in quality/accuracy?

Are they all made by the same people?

Under heavy use, do some wear more than others?

don't know about those but I use KD, I took a mic to them and they were spot on to the thousandth.

That has got to be the largest (in physical size) feeler gauge set I have ever seen. Seems as though there are times that the handle would get in the way. Do you really need a handle on a feeler gauge?

Sorry, caught off guard by the picture.

I have a Blue Point set that is spot on as well.

Actually, the handles are very small... The same size as the valve stem removal set, or small electronic screwdriver set.

Those Kastar feeler gauges may be the same product as the Snap-on but if you want the $68.75 wooden display box there is only one place to get it.

Edit: - Looks like Matco gives you the box
