Mine is 0.025 but you can stack many of the leaves together to get pretty
thick measurments.  So if I want a 0.100 inch gap I can use 0.24, 0.23,
0.22, 0.21, and 0.010 to add up to 0.100.  Be aware that the accurcy of
most (cheap) feelers is "rough".  But they are good enough in our case.
Mine is K&D-2424.

If one has a full wire size drill set.  Then those make nice guages for
gaps too.

Cheers,
