There are a number of tools that will do the job but the best is a set of feeler gauges. This tool looks like a penknife but it has many blades each of which is marked with a thickness measurement usually in thousandths of an inch. You extend a number of blades until the sum of their combined thicknesses is equal to the width of gap you wish to measure. There is also available a single bladed feeler gauge which measures the plug gap but it isn't as versatile as the multi-bladed item. This last item may be called a plug gap tester or something similar.

A feeler gauge will give you incorrect readings when measuring spark plug gap. A spark plug gap gauge is the correct tool.

Its a feeler gauge. The gap in a spark plug is not that critical and i suspect it is now given in a metric measurement. On older cars we gap them at 22 thou
