Thread Identifier Caddy

[mklotz]

Why buy those clumsy things when you already have the easiest way ever of checking threads, you can even keep this wondrous tool in your pocket eliminating that clumsy block of wood set-up alltogether. Oh, you can get them either in Metric or Mongrel as well.

Or, am I missing something here ? ---------------------------

Perhaps the major thing you're missing is tact.

Let's see...

Two thread gauges minimum (inferial and metric), perhaps more if working anywhere near stuff made in the UK or its colonies.
Calipers to measure diameters
Cheat sheet in case you can't solve the diameter to numbered bolt size equation in your head
Magnifier to detect those threads with near identical pitches
Flashlight so you can see what you're doing, especially if the stud is on the underside of the too heavy to lift structure

Better have really big pockets.
