Review on Inch and Metric Fastener Thread Checker: Bolt Your Worries Away! by Aaron Lewis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An anal jack of all trades best friend!

It's an amazingly handy tool, or at least I think so. I'm beyond obsessive about organizing the junk I have, and I've recently taken it to the next level by I have a number of wall boxes and bought this one. One rainy evening I walked into my garage and started sorting through cans and bins full of screws, bolts, nuts and washers that I had accumulated over the years and started sorting them into parts bins and nicely printed labels on them to glue. . After a few hours or even days, my work was finished, and now all the details of almost any size are removed within an arm's length. Seriously, this is a very handy tool for bolt, nut, and washer sizing and thread roughness, and if you have the patience to go through hours of sorting exercises like I did, you'll learn to visually recognize these sizes and roughness of threads visually, so that at some point you will no longer need this tool. For someone who previously couldn't tell the 10th from the 12th or the 24th from the 32nd, this was a very valuable learning tool and helped my OCD a lot.

Pros
  • Inch transducers coated with transparent zinc, metric transducers coated with black oxide.
Cons
  • Not sure
