Nut & Bolt Thread Checker - 26 Male/Female Gauges - 14 Inch & 12 Metric for Quickly Checking Nuts and Bolts Inch or Metric and Verifying The Size

This product is well-made and very helpful, when sorting a bunch of small parts. The only issues I had with it is that 1) One of the pieces within the string of measuring devices had text etched that was off-center and nearing the edge (did not effect functionality, cosmetic only) and 2) There was an instance where I was able to mix a bolt which was standard and it fit into a metric slot. Not sure if that's the tool's fault or the hardware's fault, but it pretty much matched the threads 3 of the 4 times I tried it, but since I had others of the same type fit in the standard hole, i knew it had to be a false-positive result.I would worry that the cable would fray over time, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it.These measuring units are easy to use and slide easily along the twisted-wire cable theyre held onto. The laser etching is easy to read, and matches the reverse of the color theyre printed on (so if on white the text is black - If on black, the text is white.) The nice thing about these is that they dont JUST do bolts and screws... On the reverse of every measuring device is the matching NUT pattern to go with it.You can do bolts and nuts at the same time, to make sure they match up. You can also do stuff that has flared shielding on it, and stuff that has other hardware on it, like locking rings, as long as they dont get in the way of the threads. Be careful with Loctite. You can do it, but it binds up a bit, and will also get stuck inside if it's flaky.This truly is an all-in-one multi-purpose tool.

Got this to have at work by the hardware area so we can more easily size the hardware in the shop. Very handy and affordable solution, and I can easily carry it onto the production floor to speed up projects.

Works well till today after I bought this 2 years ago,, hah

I’m sure like any good DIYer you have that box full of loose screws, bolts, nuts, etc for that rainy day when you need something now and don’t want to run to the store. Most of the time it’s not a problem not knowing the gauge, but every now and again I would find myself frustrated not knowing what I actually had or needed and this came in really handy. My only con is that it doesn’t address thread count on the metric side, which is kind of important. It’s easy to store, seems durable, and overall I’m pleased with the purchase.

High quality thread/nut checker. I use it to sort all my spare parts and to order correct replacements. I like that it includes both metric and imperial.I feel like I'm turning into my father.

The full chain with both metric and standard is a bit heavy and unwieldy if you need to check something overhead. It would ben much better to have at least 2 wires, one for standard and the other for metric, since you rarely need to mix the two on a single project. That's being extremely nitpicky though.The quality of what I received seems great. The markings are nice and legible. It's a big set. There are a few in between sizes that are still missing, like #12-24, but they're not super common. This has got more sizes than most bolt checkers at the big box stores.

TOO useful!!

Cool. Always wanted/needed one of these.Can measure and just go to H/W store and get what I need.
