Also, the sizes are indeed stamped in and filled in with paint. They'll never wear off. If you dropped them in acetone or something and the paint dissolved you could rub more paint over it and wipe away the excess with a rag and isopropyl alcohol.
It's true, trying to thread one into a hole really sucks because they're all on a steel cable. The cable isn't the most flexible thing and the weight makes it worse. You can't feel what you're doing like that. I tried putting them on a string and that did help a lot because you could isolate one and let the string wrap around the bolt as you turn it. But not good enough for me. I knew when I bought these that I wanted to make a case for them and I did. I won't go into the details but if you're handy that's the way to go. Best part, I had 7 sizes from my first set that this set didn't have. 3 sizes smaller in both inch and metric, and one other inch 12-24. So now I have the ultimate bolt collection.
I used thick foam in my case, drilled holes surprisingly easy and they all fit nice and snug. But you could also use magnets.
30 bucks is a lot of money, but I think it might actually be more to buy all this hardware individually at home depot or lowes. And to have the male and female on one piece with the size stamped in, yeah I think it's worth it.
Very cool thank you.
this thread & nut identifier is affordable, portable, and expendable if broken. I was thinking of getting the more expensive ones that also mount onto a vertical surface or table. But then I thought "what if the threads are in a vehicle per se" so this will be of great use for such a situation. I may think about buying another so I can cut them off the wire cable and place them in another container so I can use these in even tighter spaces where the whole bunch just gets in the way when I only need one.
I see two things that concern me but don't exactly impact the use. Which are based on some reviews on the swage sleeves breaking. I saw the quality of crimping and it ain't good but then again I can't fully argue because the item, after all, is cheap. But if oneself has the right tools and the right knowledge, it actually is repairable if that oneself has the right tool and knowledge. But again unfortunately not everyone has these.
the second concern are the plastic spacers, the last time I've seen these was in kindergarten or grade school. They may break later down the road but again is repairable/replaceable just need to go to your local hardware store and get plastic spacers.
But overall it is great, again I've yet to encounter any issues with this but hopefully not cause I've visually checked each thread/nut for damages or abnormalities so far looks good but physically I cannot yet say.
And again if this ever breaks later down the road (way pass the eligibility of returns) then I can always purchase another one.
