Our Story
Rooted in the Fastener Industry
The BoltSizeIt story began in 2003 with a chance meeting at the Las Vegas Fastener Convention. At the time, I was working as a manufacturers’ representative covering Virginia and the Carolinas, serving top-tier fastener manufacturers and master distributors. I constantly fielded requests from customers looking for reliable bolt size identifiers and thread pitch gauges, but I struggled to find a supplier that met their quality standards. Then, I saw the BoltSizeIt booth. When I asked the founders how they went to market, they explained that they were new to the industry—this was their very first trade show. I asked if they had ever considered using sales reps to get their measurement tools into the hands of more professionals. The owner reached across the table and said, “You’re our first one.” That handshake launched a partnership that has lasted over two decades.
A Family-Owned Legacy
Over the years, that initial business arrangement evolved into a deep friendship and a shared vision for the company. BoltSizeIt has always taken pride in being a focused, family-run operation. We are not a faceless corporation; we are a small, dedicated team.For years, our manufacturing and operations have supported three families, driving us to maintain the highest standards of quality and service. When you place an order for custom branded tools, you aren't just buying inventory—you are supporting a business built on personal relationships and integrity.
Global Reach, Personal Gratitude
From that single booth in Las Vegas, we have grown to serve the global market. We are proud to have shipped our precision measuring tools to customers in over 35 countries, helping businesses worldwide reduce returns and educate their teams. On behalf of the entire BoltSizeIt family, we sincerely thank every customer who has supported us. We deeply appreciate your trust, your partnership, and the opportunity to be a part of your success.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure a bolt without a nut?
Use a precision thread checker or screw measurement gauge. Simply insert the bolt into the sizing holes to find the exact diameter, and use the integrated ruler or thread pitch gauge to verify the length and thread count (TPI or metric pitch).
What is the difference between an identification gauge and a thread repair tool?
Plastic and standard metal gauges are designed strictly for rapid fastener identification (Go/No-Go testing). For cleaning or repairing rusty and damaged threads, you must use a hardened steel thread restorer or a dedicated steel screw checker.
Can a BoltSizeIt gauge identify both metric and standard (SAE) screws?
Yes. Most of our pocket gauges and thread checkers utilize a double-sided design, featuring Inch/Standard (SAE) measurements and Metric measurements for efficient, clutter-free identification.
What is the best tool for identifying small machine screws and RC hobby fasteners?
The BoltSizeIt Stainless Steel Screw-Measurement Pocket Gauge is ideal for small, intricate fasteners. It accurately identifies micro-screws ranging from 1/16" to 7/16" (Standard) and 1mm to 10mm (Metric), making it perfect for fine detail work.
Can I order BoltSizeIt thread checkers with my company's custom logo?
Yes. We offer fully customizable, wholesale promotional tools. Business owners and distributors can order custom-branded or laser-etched gauges featuring their logo to use as highly effective, long-lasting marketing assets.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom wholesale tools?
Minimum order quantities vary depending on the product type and the level of customization required (e.g., simple logo placement vs. fully custom injection molding). Please reach out to our B2B team via our Contact Page to discuss your project and receive a personalized quote.
Are BoltSizeIt tools durable enough for industrial shop environments?
