Made of metal not plastic, standard color silver and black. Thread sizes are engraved on each thread gauge. Great product makes it really easy to check thread size and made from metal that lasts a long time.
They are easy to use and very useful. This eliminates doubts about which screw, bolt or nut I need and makes going to the hardware store more efficient. They seem durable and will likely last a very long time. Too bad I didn't buy it years ago.
Well made and easier to use than plastic thread gauges. I've used it many times and am very happy with it. Only two cons for me. The SAE labeling is a little hard to read for my aging eyes and SAE doesn't have a #12 thread, which gave me a brief pause as the car I was restoring had a lot of #12 bolts. Not #10, 1/4, or metric. Should be number 12!
I have been using pan head bolt testers for many years and have found that they only offer a few threads for sizing bolts. With this device, you can turn the bolt a few turns to make sure it doesn't wobble. The advantage over plate testers is that you can test both bolts and nuts. They are well marked, cover the dimensions of common automotive and household nuts and bolts and are on the same steel cable to avoid losing them. The keychain flash is an extra feature that I don't really need, butβ¦
This is a handy tool for quickly checking threads for tightening nuts and bolts or for other purposes, but there are too many flaws in quality and design to justify the high price. The threads are cut precisely and the tool does its job well. What I dislike the most about this product is that it is an "all inclusive" set but still lacks many sizes. They may not be common, but that's why we bought this set rather than the smaller and cheaper one. Missing Sizes: #12-24 (old machine screws)β¦
