Mitutoyo 188-151, Screw Pitch Gage, 4 - 42 TPI and 0.4 - 7mm, 51 Leaves, Inch/Metric Black

I’ve been working on a project truck for awhile now. Rust belt veteran. At least half of the bolts and screws are too rotten to reuse. At first, I would just eyeball them or try to find info online. Then, I graduated to a cheap version of this tool. I was still wasting lots of money on Grade 8 bolts that didn’t quite fit. This tool has already saved me money. It doesn’t seem like the kind of thing you’d want to spend $50 on but that’s only 10-20 bolts or a few trips back to the hardware store. It also makes working on the truck much, much less aggravating. Worth it.

Expensive but you get what you pay for

It’s a little pricey. Great quality. It will outlast you.

wish the numbers were bigger

It is as described

Definitely agree with other reviewers the seller should post a more accurate picture. This is the very finest, Mitutoyo quality, made in Japan - worth the extra money! Yes, you can buy cheap thread pitch gauges, but why would you? If you bothered enough to check the pitch, you bothered enough to do it with a great tool! Love the friction locking dials - they work very well!

Nicely made useful for fine pitch screws , probably need to keep light oil on it , I have not had it long enough to see if it may rust.

I had never bought a Mitutoyo product before. Now Im impressed. The retail photo provided for this product is inaccurate by showing black plastic knobs instead of steel. Since I prefer steel, theres no complaint. The machining quality is great. Numbers are easy to read because theyre stamped into the steel, and not etched like lower quality tools usually are.

Sure, you could buy a Chinese piece of junk but are the rest of your tools garbage too?
