This tool, being two faced, is one of a kind because it can be used on both sides. This way is possible to get a more accurate measurement of the height from the ground with step of 0.1mm. The tool extensively can measure from 2.9mm to 6.4mm. Adding the second part of the tool that raises the Ride Height Gauge by 10mm is possible to measure the Droop, and the tool becomes a Droop Height Gauge.
