Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a pitch gauge used for when measuring bolts and screws?
A: A pitch gauge is a hand tool used to determine the thread pitch — the distance between thread crests — on bolts, nuts, and screws. By matching the gauge blade's profile to the fastener's thread, you can quickly identify the correct pitch value (e.g., M6 x 1.0 mm metric, or ¼"-20 imperial), which is essential when sourcing replacement fasteners or verifying thread compatibility.
Q: Does this pitch gauge measure both metric and imperial threads?
A: Yes. This high-accuracy pitch gauge covers both metric (millimetre pitch) and imperial (threads-per-inch) standards, making it a versatile addition to any toolkit for working with a broad range of fasteners.
Q: How do I use a thread pitch gauge correctly?
A: Fan out the individual blades of the gauge and press each one against the threads of the fastener you're measuring. When a blade fits flush with no gaps or overlaps, the pitch value stamped or etched on that blade is your thread pitch. Always check in good lighting for the most accurate result.
Q: Is this pitch gauge suitable for professional workshop use?
A: Absolutely. The Qme High-Accuracy Pitch Gauge is built to industry standards and is durable enough for daily professional use in automotive shops, machine shops, plumbing, and other trade environments, as well as DIY home workshop applications.
