OK, so again make your own decision!

At least the business cards were uniform in thickness all over. The plastic lid I checked varied by one or two thousandths measuring a inch apart, not a very uniform thickness. At least the one I checked.

I wouldn't use fancy business cards with embossing or raised letters. Just use simple cards. After I use the card once, I throw it away.

Yep same here. No fancy embossed cards. Just plain white ones work for me over and over on all makes, stihl, husky, poulan, dolmar, partner, jonsered etc etc.

It is after all; only a chainsaw, not a J&T Marine Deisel.

The plastic or the air gap tool both survive a little longer than the business card, after one use the card gets compressed in the areas of the coil poles, so too do the plastic and the air gap tool just not as quickly. McMaster Carr also sells precision plastic shim stock, their product 9513K21 is 0.0125 +/- 0.0006 (0.0119 to 0.0131) a 5x20 inch piece will cost you $3.57. I don't think you are going to get any closer than this.

There's one more thing to add to my next McMaster Carr order. Can make about 20 gap tools out of that 5"x20" piece of plastic shim stock. Lifetime supply....

I always worked in industrial maintenance. When aligning a huge electric motor/gearbox we used the plastic shim stock at one place and stainless or brass shim stock at another. Eventually, I came across a printing plant that used paper for shims. I thought to myself "what a redneck way to do it"? But I never could find fault with the paper. It held up fine under the big machinery.

When I was servicing Cat Scanners we sometimes used the plastic shims for aligning the collimators.
