Bolts and Thread Sizes etc

[wheelnut]

Not SV specific, but sure this will come in useful at some point in your lifetime.

Of course all the clever guys and technical wizards will have a dozen of these tucked behind the toilet roll holder at home.

But if not, you can borrow mine.

No thanks - I'll use me own.

Handy, but it doesn't measure the bolt you have in hand which seems to be a common question on here for the non engineers.

A micrometer and a thread pitch gauge are useful when you are screwcutting - or wanting to know what size bolt you are holding :smt120

Buy a good hammer and never have to worry about correct sizing ever again - they all fit :D

Yes, I believe Probolt have recently made a bolt measure.

Its sad though when you can look at a bolt and tell the pitch and be within 2mm of its length like me!!!
