    Have you seen this thread gauge?

     



    My neighbor has a full set of thread gauges like this one. The set consists of 4 of these round thread gauges for various thread pitches, including metric, NPT, fine and course threads. Has anyone seen these types of gauges, but better yet, where can you find them. I have 'Google' searched but cannot come up with a source.

    I bought the exact set at Napa,Very inexpensive,and glad they were.. as over time I have had to cut them to get at already installed bolts.,McMasterr Carr has some real nice sets that could have worked for me also.Hope this helps,also numerous other places such as machine shop supply etc.

    One of my tap sets came with the fold-up feeler guage type. Very handy.

    Thanks to all that replied. I also posted a message on my Harley board, several friends there gave me links to several sources, I ordered a set yesterday, only $13. I also have the 'leaf' style thread gauge that came with my tap/die set, but this thing has been so handy to use that I offered to buy them from the neighbor. It's so easy to pick up a bolt and very quickly know the thread pitch and diameter.

    If anyone is looking for a set, here are the links given to me,

    Hot Rod Auto Supply

    Matco Tools

    Eastwood Automotive

    eBay Store

    Thanks again for your help,
    Mike
