Review on 🔩 Hanson 12-016 Metric Thread Pitch by Dmitriy Kingsley

Important Info (for P/N 12016): This is an Irwin "Hanson" Metric Thread Gauge, with 16 blades or sheets, ranging in size from 0.35mm to 3, 00mm Measurements in millimeters: 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8 at one end (okay?), 0.9, 1.00 , 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00 on the other end (roughly?) . Each leaf is serrated on one edge and smooth on the other. Remember that metric threads are measured in mm while SAE are measured in threads per inch (TPI). I'm not aware of the technical limitation of fine and coarse threads for metric screws and couldn't find it easily by searching the internet. You can refer to one of the laminar thread gauges on Amazon to get a better idea, but I think actually this is due to the size of the screw itself compared to the thread, i.e. the thread never stands alone, it's always on a screw/bolt / nut attached, which has a separately measured -size-. has a brass finish with the word "METRIC" embossed into the metal on one side, with size markings embossed on the side of the blades facing outward when the word "METRIC" is facing. Nothing is printed on the other side of the body or leaves. Embossing quality is lacking on some of the larger jagged sheets, e.g. B. 2.50, 0 is only partially stamped, and 1.50, 5 is almost like a 6, maybe a little overstamped. A few other single digits on the rough end are light, but their dimensions are obvious due to the blades on either side. All of this is a great starting point for a collection of tools for measuring various aspects of screws/bolts that will no doubt continue to grow. Received this yesterday 5/22/15 at a local HW store for 9.99 + taxes. Currently available in Zon for 8.70 plus shipping (2 days free and donation allowed) plus tax depending on state. I'm glad I pulled the trigger and just supported the locals. The gentleman in the shop helped with the information and basically said that eventually you will get all the sensors you need and he hasn't found a sensor of all measures. I've looked at a few wall/plate gauges here on other tool sites like Grainger and haven't even found a fully comprehensive tool for - metric - or SAE yet! The product invariably goes over the top or bottom, or the thin thread, or both. So even if you only decide on the metric or sae system, you will need at least two products! More realistically, the average DIYer seems to need 3-4. Spring. Why do I say 3-4? Because I was busy with all sorts of things and got products that "28 of the most common types of screws! Yuppie! won't do it for me Have fun calibrating!
