Thread Checker Nut & Bolt (Inch & Metric) SWTC-26 Bundle with a Lumintrail Keychain Light

Though it's a convenient tool for quick thread checking or organizing nuts and bolts, it's also not an ideal tool for organizing threads. Despite the accuracy of the thread cutting, the tool provides a quality service. ***** - One of the biggest problems I have with this item is that while it is a "complete" set, there are still many sizes left out. It may seem strange, but the reason we bought them and not the smaller, cheaper one was because they aren't conventional. There are several sizes that are missing #12 - The old machine screws are 24 (11/16-inch) I have 18*M9 Bolts (connecting rods) 25 *M11- Almost all extra fine threads (brake line nuts)
All pipe threads
And more
- It is very easy for the paint on the metric set to rub off. originally thought that they forgot to paint some of them before sending them to the factory, but I soon realized I had just rubbed off the paint when I handled them. There is a possibility that the markings could be larger on the bigger sizes as well. ***** - It is difficult to handle the wire rope. I think it is too thin, too long, and a little too long. It becomes frustrating to handle the sets of all sizes because they are all too heavy. With my kit, I used two different gauges of wire. The diameter is more like wire rope, swage stops, hydraulic crimpers (cheaper than you think!) The situation is much better now Probably should have looped one side. If I can come up with a way, I will paint one end of the cord to prevent fraying and then will install some sort of removable stop. I could imagine using a set screw or ***** - In order to check bolts properly, there are not enough threads on the bolt checking side. Firstly, the wire rope passes through this section of the tool, so you lose some threads at the bottom of the tool. A second item to note is that there are some bolts with significant chamfers or worn threads on the ends, and of the hundreds of fasteners I handled, about 5% I could not ***** - I feel like the beads remind me of something I bought from Etsy, but that's just a personal preference. This shape reminds me of a spine (as is the uncanny similarity). It's just that they take up too much space, which I don't like about them. There could have been a lot less space taken up if washers or something were used instead. Because the wire rope has extra space, it's not necessary to space the beads much apart except an inch or two apart A small hole is in the top 5 cm) of the bigger pieces to easily pick out the smaller sizes. ***** - There is a lack of tolerance. It depends on the piece of wall how thick it is. It seems as if the holes drilled through each checker are different sizes, even though they are drilled in the same place. There are some chamfers that are not aligned either. I think this is probably designed this way to aid assembly times, but no matter what, the holes are just too large for the thin wire rope attached to them. While I would normally not acknowledge this, this is a premium product at this price point and despite this, I still think it's great. You can boast about domestic production, but if you refuse to hold yourself to a higher standard, what is the point? - It is not possible to remove the pieces. The following is an example of my imagination The setup I have in place prevents that from happening. This would be better if one end had a loop and the other had a removable stop. It would be a good decision if you need to sort through a lot of hardware Be aware that you may not be able to identify every item. In the case of specialized components such as engine components, tiny electronic hardware, fuel adapters, pipe adapters, agricultural equipment, or other less common threads, you won't be able to manually While I complain about the design, I generally like it because it keeps all the pieces in order, and you don't need to store it in a hard case or in other bulky packaging -- By hanging it by the loop or storing it in your toolbox, you can make sure you never lose it. 60 bucks is a lot to ask for what is essentially bolts on a wire that was probably assembled for around $5, but it might save you hours if you're organizing a lot.

Plate Bolt Checkers, a tool that I've used for many years, provide only a few threads to size the bolt. In this unit, you can turn the bolts several turns to ensure that they do not wobble out of the ordinary. It can also be used to check bolts and nuts. This makes it an excellent alternative to plate checkers. All the bolts and nuts are marked, they cover the usual sizes for automotive and home projects, and they are all on a steel cable to prevent them from getting lost. The keychain flash light is an extra that I didn't really need, but it is functional.

A thread is a thing you put on, and a thread is something you take When you've put the bolt in the bin, you can pull it out. Although a bit pricey, it's quite handy if you have a lot of screws in your coffee tin.

The metal thread checkers are made well and are easier to use than the plastic ones. My experience with this product is very positive and I have utilized it a number of times. The only two negatives I can think of are these. As I am aging, I have a hard time reading the text on the SAE, and I did not realize that the SAE does not include a #12 thread size, which threw me for a loop The screw is not a #10, a 1/4, or a metric screw. I believe that #12 was the correct answer!.

There will be no confusion about which bolt, screw, or nut I need and I can visit the hardware store with greater efficiency. My only regret is that I didn't buy these many years ago as they appear to be rugged and likely to last a very long time.

It's made of metal and not plastic. The standard version is silver, and the metric version is black. Each thread checker is engraved with the thread size. A great product, it provides a quick and easy way to check thread sizes. Since it is made of metal, it should last a long time.

Rather than using the cable, I made the blocks from plastic and used the cnc mill to drill holes for them to hold on to. I like it a lot.

When I'm sifting through the miscellaneous box trying to find the right bolt or nut, this is almost indispensable. It saves a great deal of time.
