I have that same tool, they just opened up a harbor freight here in my town, yeah.. used to have to drive 45 minutes . About the only thing you can tell with your fingers is "No lip so still mostly new" or "some lip, better measure" or "holy #$% that thing is huge"

O'Reilly sells the Bosch zinc coated rotors for $80 ea. No brainer to replace them.
