Size Checker Nuts And Bolts
 ✖  |
Phil Whitmoyer, Leesport, Penn.: “I didn’t like having to guess which size bolt thread I was dealing with when making repairs. So I took a length of 1/4-in. thick scrap steel plate and tapped 2 rows of every size of American thread, ranging from 3/8-24 down to 4-40. I stamped the thread size onto the plate next to each hole. I also inserted a row of bolts of different sizes through the plate from the back side. Now I can quickly check any bolt or nut to see which size I need. If nothing fits I know it’s metric. The plate hangs above my workbench so I use it a lot.”
