Quick Tip:

When you are trying to match up bolts or figure out if the threads match.

Line up the threads on the two bolts. (Like the picture)

If the threads interlock and mesh with each other, the bolts at least are the same thread pitch.

Then you compare the diameter.

If they are not the same thread, then they won’t fit together.

This is a quick way of finding out if you have the same size bolts.

Very handy when you have a mix of SAE and Metric threads.
