I decided it was time to get some good thread gauges.
Enter the Mitutoyo SAE and metric thread gauges. The packaging might be awkward but the tools are excellent. The Mitutoyo 950-253 is a 51 leaf thread gauge, going from 4 to 84 threads per inch. It should cover pretty much any kind of bolt you encounter in a car or truck.
The Mitutoyo 188-153 is the metric thread pitch gauge. While it has fewer leaves, only 28, its covers most all of the metric sizes used in automotive applications.
Both have steel screws so you can replace a single leaf or change the order if you need to. Each leaf is also stampled so none of that laser etching that fades away, leaving you wondering what TPI you have!
Can you measure threads? Sure, but sometimes, the eyes fail, threads get damaged and the best way to get the thread count on a bolt or screw is to use a thread gauge.
The Mitutoyos are built to last, made from stainless steel, and oddly enough they are Made in USA. Actually this is one of the reasons they don’t look as polished (literally!) as the Mitutoyos made in Japan.
