Nut & Bolt Thread Checker (Inch & Metric), Original Version (SWTC-26)

Product Information

Thread gauges traditionally consist of multiple blades that can be used to measure the pitch. The blades sit within a tool that resembles a pen knife. The blades can then be twisted out of the tool when in use. How to use a thread gauge Tyre and safety experts believe the 1.6mm legal minimum is insufficient to guarantee safety – most recommend a minimum tread depth of 3mm for tyre replacement.

Some customers have complained that the size markings are not consistent with some being smaller than others, and some with paint that is faded.

The wall mounted version includes all of the common SAE and metric sizes. This takes out any guesswork of the size you need when you make your trip to your local or big box hardware store. Inch Thread Identifiers contain nut and bolt sizes 6-32, 8-32, 10-24, 10-32, 1/4-20, 1/4-28, 5/16-18, 5/16-24, 3/8-16, 3/8-24, 7/16-14, 7/16-20, 1/2-13, 1/2-20. Tests by UK technical organisation MIRA found that, once tyres are below 3mm, stopping distances increase dramatically. Customers appreciate the easy to read sizes. The thread sizes are easily identifiable as the bolt plugs themselves are zinc-plated. The SAE sizes are engraved and clearly marked in red paint, with the metric series engraved and marked in white paint. The writing is smaller than that on the wall mounted version, but they are written clearly which helps to make them easier to read. Driving with tyres that have a tread below the legal limit - or even worse, are bald - is dangerous.

Stud Hole Elongation Tester - Push the SHET tool inside the stud hole to the depth of the corresponding size. If any obvious movement is possible then the stud hole has stretched and the wheel should be inspected.Any insurance claim as a result of an accident could be invalidated, so potentially your insurer won't pay out any money any repairs needed to your vehicle. Customers are also appreciative that all of the bolt plugs have both a male and female part. This makes it easy to indefinive both threads and bolt head sizes. The Cons

However, they include almost every common size of SAE and metric bolt and thread. Other customers have pointed out the certain specilitary sizes are so rare that many professional woodworkers, machinists, and auto mechanics have never even used them throughout their career. The Final VerdictSome tyres will have indicators embossed on the tyre wall itself, usually with a line or arrow which is positioned somewhere below the outer tread. To use a thread gauge, first match the type of thread to the gauge. For example, attempting to measure metric threads with an imperial gauge will not return accurate results. To determine the correct gauge, a process of trial and error may be needed if the screw is of unknown origin.

Once the correct gauge is determined, the user should extend one of the leaves of the tool and press it against the threaded portion of a screw. If the teeth (cut into the leaf) match the spacing of the thread, then the user can read off the thread pitch stamped into the leaf. If the fit is not good, the user should try a different leaf. Thread Gauge TipsPipe Thread Identifiers Pipe Thread Detectives® are precise and easy to use thread identifiers for both male and female fittings. They are especially well-suited for distinguishing between similar National, British and ISO pipe threads. In heavy rain, each tyre can shift one gallon of water every second, illustrating just how hard tyres work.
