Starrett Steel Screw Pitch Gage with Locking Device - Ideal for Construction Work and Home Improvement - 4-84 TPI, 51 Number of Leaves - 472

Wonderful quality and accuracy as always from Starrett products

good quality.

I use this in restoring my car, so that I may readily identify the gage of the bolts as I remove them. If I need to replace a bolt I can get the right one first time every time. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

As a gunsmith, I work with many firearms containing multiple screws. This tool is a quick and easy way to select the correct replacement screw.

Three black knobs are metal not plastic. Came coated with oil. Well made. If you are looking for Made in USA engrave in this product....bad news - you will not find it.

Top quality, made in USA.

Starrett tools are top drawer, that excellent caliber of manufacturing has always been present in everything Ive ever purchased from them. Starrett maintains a quality level thats often times difficult to find in todays marketplace of tools.

The item pictured is a Starrett 472. The 473 has leaves on two ends which, despite the description, do not lock open. But, the quality is what I expect from Starrett, it meets my needs, and delivery was timely. If youre looking for a thread pitch gauge, check out Starretts website and determine the exact model you want.

Its a Starrett. It doesnt disappoint :) The design is very intuitive (the way in which the blades are organized and labeled) and the thumb screws make it easy to fix the blade you are using out while keeping the others out of the way.
