JACO TreadPro Tire Tread Depth Gauge, Dial Type (Reads in 1/32")

Good tool for measuring tire tread depth across the width to check for consistency due to under, proper, or over inflated tire. I was using a dial caliper yet requires clearance so had to position front or back of tire yet not the top as fenderwell interfered. The JACO TreadPro fits anywhere on the tire.The JACO TreadPro is easy to read. Depress the probe on top the gauge then position the probe into the tread. Push down until the gauge touches the tire.Placing the gauge onto a flat and smooth surface will check for zero indication. Depress the probe on top the gauge then push onto a flat surface. Depressing the probe on top 100% sweeps the needle 360 degrees.The pouch has a rubber JACO logo which is good protection. Face the lense forward towards the logo. The metal snap rivet is exposed inside the pouch. I keep the gauge in a small plastic bag to protect the lense from the rivet.

My tire guy at the dealership had this tool. He checked my 4 tires. Very simple to operate. Gives you clear indication of your remaining tread depth. Recommend for any car owner who wants to take care their automobile. Very useful, practical and affordable auto tool.

Solid, accurate, easier to use than most similar tire gauges.

Easy to read gauge . I am happy with the product. Color coding helps to determine if tire need to be replaced.0

The product arrived on time and as described. It actually feels like a well made tool.

This manual tire tread depth gauge was exactly what we needed for quick tire inspections. My husband is a professional mechanic, and we added this to his tool kit to help spot tire wear patterns during routine checks. For the price, it’s a fantastic tool—but be warned: it’s not built to survive a drop.Before the drop? Flawless.The dial was easy to read, smooth in operation, and accurate. It gave consistent results and made checking tires fast and precise. No batteries to worry about, and it felt solid enough in the hand. We used it on everything from sedans to lifted trucks.After the drop? Not so great.Unfortunately, it slipped off the workbench and hit the garage floor. After that, the dial needle was permanently stuck about ¼ inch forward and wouldn’t return to zero. That threw off all the measurements and made it unreliable. There was no visible damage, but something internal shifted out of alignment.Lesson learned: this tool works great—but handle it gently. It's more of a precision measuring tool than a rugged shop item. If you can avoid dropping it or store it in a secure spot (maybe a small padded pouch or drawer), it’ll serve you well.Pros:✔️ Accurate, simple, and quick to use✔️ No batteries or digital parts to fail✔️ Clear dial display with precise measurements✔️ Great for home or shop useCons:✘ Fragile—dropped once and lost accuracyFinal Thoughts:This is a super handy tool that works perfectly—until it takes a fall. I’ll likely buy a replacement, but I’ll be more careful with the next one. Still highly recommend it for anyone doing tire inspections—just don’t treat it like a hammer.

Great item, easy to use and read indicator. . A solid construction metal. Light-weight, black.

Love it
