ABSTRACT:
A brake pad measuring tool is disclosed and functions to provide a quick visual indicator for determining brake pad wear condition in motor vehicles. The brake pad measuring tool includes a plurality of rigid bars which are attached in a reciprocal and rotatable manner via a coupling ring. Each of the rigid bars has a free end provided with a color-coded bar segment. The rigid bars also have descending incremental widths which correspond to a specific color cast by each color-coded bar segment, thus serving as a quick visual indicator for pad wear condition. The brake pad measuring tool allows for a brake pad's condition to be determined while the vehicle wheel is still attached to the hub.
