52 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK BoltSize-It is now offering the old Check-A-Thread style gauges like Rockford use to offer, along with the old Stainless Steel pocket screw gauges that were always a crowd favorite over the years. BoltSize-It continues to add more useful and handy tools to our offering and our latest addition is the metric and inch Tri Gauge Combo Tool. Each tool is made of Stainless Steel and has a set of thread pitch gauges and a tab that has a hole for sizing bolt diameters. On that tab it has the bolt size and the corresponding wrench size to use for that particular bolt diameter. This is a very handy tool for those in the field.
