    Go/No-Go Threaded Plug Gauges with Handle

    Speed up thread tolerance checks—the handle on these gauges gives you a good grip to quickly thread and unthread go or no-go gauges. Use these gauges to make sure nuts, tapped holes, and other parts fall within tolerance. All are precisely manufactured to confirm thread fit. If the plug gauges wear down, you can insert new ones (not included) onto the taperlock handle.
    A part is within tolerance if it’s easy to thread the go gauge into the part but difficult to thread the no-go gauge more than two turns.
    Go/no-go gauges have both a go gauge on one end of the handle and a no-go gauge on the other to speed up tests. Go gauges check the minimum internal thread size. No-go gauges check the maximum internal thread size.

    Accuracy Certificate Traceable to NIST—Gauges with an accuracy certificate traceable to NIST include verification from the manufacturer that their thread sizes are within tolerance. The certificate is also known as a certificate of compliance or a short-form certification.
    Calibration Certificate Traceable to NIST—Gauges with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST were calibrated in a lab. The certificate, sometimes called a test report or long-form certificate, details the tested measurements.
    For Class 2B Unified Standard Thread Fit—For inch threads, the higher the class number, the tighter the fit. Unified Standard Class 2B is standard and works for most applications.
    For Class 3B Unified Standard Thread Fit—The tightest fit for inch-sized threads. Unified Standard Class 3B fits completely flush in applications where parts need to stay in place, such as engines and suspension systems.
    For Thread Fit—Thread fit designates the tightness or looseness of mating threads.

    Removable-Shackle Hoist Rings—For Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hoist Rings. Removable-Shackle Hoist Rings—For Lifting.
    Remove the shackle after lifting while keeping the base installed for future use. Designed for angular lifting, hoist rings resist stresses that would bend or break an eyebolt. They have a lifting ring that pivots 180° front to back and a base that swivels 360° to compensate for pitch, roll, and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads. Install the base of the hoist ring flush to the mounting surface and tighten to the recommended torque that is stamped on the ring. Torque Wrenches are sold separately.
    Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the hoist ring can lift is significantly reduced. For example, when lifting a 1,000 lb. load at a 45° angle, you must choose a hoist ring with a capacity of at least 1,400 lbs. Do not use at an angle less than 30°.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Swivel-Under-Load Hoist Rings—For Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hoist Rings. Swivel-Under-Load Hoist Rings—For Lifting.
    The ball bearing on these hoist rings makes it easy to rotate your load even after it’s suspended. For unbalanced or heavy loads, the base also swivels to compensate for pitch, roll, and sway. Their lifting ring pivots 180° front to back. Ideal for angular lifting, these hoist rings withstand stresses that bend or break eyebolts.
    Install the base of these hoist rings flush to your mounting surface. Use a torque wrench to tighten to the recommended torque stamped on the ring.
    Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the hoist ring can lift is significantly reduced. For example, when lifting a 1,000 lb. load at a 45° angle, you must choose a hoist ring with a capacity of at least 1,400 lbs. Do not use at an angle less than 30°.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    An indicator dot changes from red to black when these hoist rings are properly tightened, eliminating the need for a torque wrench. The dot changes back to red if the hoist ring comes loose. Ideal for angular lifting, these hoist rings withstand stresses that bend or break eyebolts. They have a lifting ring that pivots 180° front to back and a base that swivels 360° to compensate for pitch, roll, and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads.

    Black-Oxide Steel—Best for dry environments. These hoist rings have a dark, matte coating for a finished look.

    Black-Oxide Steel—Best for dry environments. These hoist rings have a dark, matte coating for a finished look.
    Nickel-Plated Steel—More corrosion resistant than black-oxide or zinc-plated steel hoist rings.
    CE Marked—Hoist rings that are CE marked meet European safety standards.
