I guess i've never used the wire type gappers or the circular types for setting gaps, I usually use my trusty feeler gauges and use the gappers to adjust the gap.

the "wire" type is much better....

I have a wire type, with 4 or 5 wires around a circular metal sandwich holder. They are all too small for todays wider gaps. I use a feeler gauge, though I know that it is not as accurate. But, I bet that it is a lot better than doing nothing, and trusting the gaps on plugs out of the box. THe mfg generallly have a range of gaps, i.e. .042-.046 and I figure that if I use reasonable care, a flat feeler gauge will work just fine. I mean, that is a .004 gap, and we don't get the side electrodes bent exactly parallel to the flat of the center electrode, anyway.
