find at local box store
i was in a local big box hardware store today , on top of a trash can was a set of the bolt and nut size boards . I ask if I could have them or sell them to me they sold them to me for 1.00 for both they had just put up a new set . the metric board had two of the smaller nuts missing . but I thought it was still a good find deal for a buck . fast easy way to find what i need
they look like these .

Those would be right damn handy to have! And at a bargain price! 0 -
but how do you screw em together?????? 0 -
At one time, I could look at a bolt or machine screw and tell what size and thread it was. Since retirement, I have somewhat lost that skill.
A set like yours would come in handy.0 -

actualy a Menards I went by to pick up some grinding disc and electrical boxes they were restocking and rearagging items any way as I was going thru the store at end of one of the aisles was a trash can with theses laying on the top of a bunch of cardboard boxes . I tossed them in the cart did not want to chance loosing them and tracked some one down , I was looking for a manager I see all the time but the fellow I ran into was glad to help and made me a label up for them . told him how much I apricated it .
