Product description
What it is and what problem it solves
This Preciva kit is a digital tyre tread depth gauge combined with a brake pad (thickness) measuring tool, built for quick checks rather than guesswork. If you’ve ever had to eyeball tread wear or wonder whether your brake pads are getting too thin, this is the kind of tool that turns “looks about right” into a number you can act on.
On paper, the set is aimed at everyday vehicle owners who do occasional maintenance at home or roadside—cars, trucks and motos are all mentioned in the product description—plus anyone who wants a straightforward way to inspect both tyres and brakes during the same routine.
The essentials: screen, measurement modes and accuracy
The standout practical detail is the large digital LCD display, designed to make readings easy to read and switch between measurement units. The tool supports both millimetres and inches, and uses a one-button system to move between the functions.
It’s also specified to deliver 0.01mm accuracy, with a zero-setting function intended to improve measurement consistency. That matters because even small errors can be annoying when you’re trying to decide whether something is genuinely worn or just “close”. That said, like most home gauges, results can still depend on how well the tip is seated and how clean the measurement area is.
It covers two ranges: - Tyre tread depth: 0–25.4mm - Brake thickness: 2–12mm
So if your priority is routine inspection within those limits, this kit is built for that job.
What really stands out in daily use
This is a dual-function tool kit, not just a tyre depth gauge. You get a brake thickness tester too, with colour-coded wear indicators included for easier brake pad inspection.
There’s also a practical “kit” angle: beyond the main measuring tools, the set includes a screwdriver and batteries (CR2032 x2). On a busy weekend, having the measuring tool and the battery ready to go is one less faff.
A lightweight design is claimed as well—about 60g for the kit—which makes it more likely you’ll actually carry it in a garage box or vehicle kit instead of leaving it at the bottom of a drawer.
Micro example: imagine checking your car tyre tread before a longer drive. You wipe the measurement spot, press the gauge into place, and read the depth on the LCD without squinting. Later, you can measure brake thickness in the same inspection session and compare it with the colour-coded wear guidance.
Limitations to keep in mind before you buy
It’s not perfect for every situation. The brake measuring range is stated as 2–12mm, so if your brake components fall outside that range, the tool may not be suitable for reliable readings.
Also, the accuracy figure (0.01mm) sounds very precise, but with any depth/line-contact measurement tool, technique still matters. If you’re expecting it to replace professional diagnostics for braking performance, it won’t—this kit is about thickness measurement and inspection cues, not diagnosing faults.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you’re the sort of person who likes to check wear before it becomes a problem: tyres that are getting low, or brake pads that are approaching the point where you’d rather plan a change than book something last minute.
It may not suit you if you only do tyre checks once in a while and prefer a simpler manual gauge, or if you’re mainly interested in diagnosing brakes beyond pad thickness. In that case, you might want to focus on a more basic tyre-only tool or a diagnostic-focused approach—this kit is deliberately measuring-led.
Is it worth it?
Buy it if you want a single, reasonably portable kit that covers tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness checks, with a large LCD screen, unit switching, and a stated 0.01mm accuracy plus a zero-setting function.
Skip it if you’re likely to measure brake thickness outside the stated 2–12mm range, or if you don’t see yourself doing routine inspections and would rather not invest in a more specialised multi-tool.
If you’re weighing up your options, this one sits in the “home maintenance made more precise” category: it’s not described as a workshop-grade diagnostic tool, but it does look well aligned with practical, regular checks for cars, trucks and motos.
Mini FAQ
Does it measure in both millimetres and inches?
Yes—readings are stated to be available in both millimetres and inches via the one-button system.
What does the zero-setting function do?
It’s described as a zero adjustment to help improve measurement consistency over time.
Is it only for tyres?
No. The kit combines a tyre tread depth gauge and a brake thickness tester (with colour-coded wear indicators).
What’s included in the box?
As listed in the description: tread gauge, brake tester, screwdriver, and CR2032 batteries (x2).
What vehicle types is it intended for?
The description states it’s for car, trucks and motos.
