This SAFELIFE gauge combines an easy-to-read LCD, selectable measurement modes (mm, decimal inch, fractional inch) and a zeroing function so you can compare tread depth at multiple points. It displays depths from 0 to 25.4 mm (0–1 inch \/ 32\/32-inch) and conserves power with an automatic shut-off to extend the included CR2032 battery life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I read and switch between the measurement modes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitching among metric (mm), decimal inch and fractional inch is done with a single button press.
