Some sort of hard plastic. Seems to be durable but be gentle and don't use any kind of lubricant as that might tend to dissolve it or otherwise damage it. That's a caution, I don't have any experience of it failing. likewise be cautious with any sort of cleaning chemical, try not to use any or expose it to any. Also avoid UV light and sunlight for extended periods. It's quite accurate so you shouldn't need to force anything, if the screw doesn't fit easily and snuggly it's the screw that's the wrong size, damaged or badly made.

A tough, rugged, and useful gauge for the work shop. I'll keep it in my drill carrying case.

With a pile of used bolts laying around, it was time to figure out what size they were - some metric, some not. This gauge took the guesswork out of figuring out what bolt/screw was what. I usually have no problem figuring out S.A.E bolts/screws, but Metric always throw me off.Simple to use and each sizing hole is threaded. Note that I also used a companion Thread Pitch Gauge to verify the thread pitch.When sizing a bolt or screw, do not force the bolt/screw into the hole if resistance is felt, as the gauge threads may strip, as this is an indication that the incorrect thread pitch exists.Use either side, no matter, as both sides are clearly marked. You will find this a most useful tool.

Better than nothing but I wish it was metal- easy to damage the threads when trying a bolt in the threaded holes.

My very fist review after years. Lazy!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars with a caveat - For the cost and overall function, this is great. I don't think you will find anything better. I have several screw and nut thread gauges, but these are in a large case, and not convenient to use for checking a couple of bolts/screws for daily needs. These smaller gauges like the BCP are perfect.I would have gladly paid more for a thicker unit, so there are a couple more threads. I also wish there was a measuring section for the length of bolts.It comes with information on both sides: One side includes ANSI and metric size and thread information (also drill), and the other side has tap. Includes both N.C and N.F. for ANSI - excellent!Easy to read and high quality platic. I have printed many different gauges, but they all pale in comparison. For $10, its one of my favorite tools.

For a plastic thread gauge, it's quite sturdy. Does exactly what it's supposed to do, and comes in handy when you need to find replacement bolts for something and don't know the size or thread pitch. Steel may be slightly better (the plastic may break if you force the wrong size through), but isn't worth the extra price point over this plastic version.

I had bee looking for something like this for along time other gauges are multipurpose but a bit limited for screws. This is comprehensive

This is the perfect tool to quickly verify thread sizing and pitch. 10/10 would recommend

Muy buena herramienta para medir tornillos. Es de plastico pero tiene muy buena calidad y facilidad de lectura de identificadores.

This is threaded, so it's much more useful for its purpose than trying to use a drill gauge to size screws and bolts. However, it is plastic, so you have to take care not to use more than finger-turning force when sizing things, or you'll simply re-thread the hole to whatever the TPI is of what you're twisting into it. Pros will want a metal version.For the price, this is great. It is light-weight, and more compact (better laid-out) than several competing solutions. I would also advise a drill gauge (which will be more accurate for drill bits anyway), and also one of the ones that has nut gauges on the side (the bolt holes in it will be redundant with this thread gauge, but it doesn't have nut sizers on it). They're all very low-cost and are great time savers. While you're at it, get one of those circular gauges for wire and sheet metal thickness, and a digital or dial caliper with a depth pin-gauge, and you're good to go.
