I tried one and couldn't use it on any of our cars.
It sounded cool but personally, I'd rather have had 2 beers than this tool.

It has to measure the distance between the tires along front outer edge
and rear outer edge.
There is an aluminum channel that connect the ends and there
is a fold out "foot" that props up the channel to raise up the ends
so that you are measuring the distances near the center line axis
of the tire.
The problem that I ran into was that not only does this center connecting
channel flex but there simply isn't enough ground clearance to lift
the channel up. The foot is 7-8 inches tall when fully opened.
It appears to have 2 settins. I'm assuming for 14 or 16 inch wheels.

I think it was a good concept but I don't think it really works because
the way the tool works (assuming it even fits under your vehicle)
there are too many ways to insert error into the measurements
where you are trying to measure 1/16ths or 1/32ths of an inch.

Just my opinion.
