    Press-Fit Studs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Studs. Press-Fit Studs.
    Press these studs into a drilled or punched hole with an arbor press or similar pressure tool. Also known as self-clinching studs, ribs under the head hold the stud firmly in place. Length listed is overall length.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—The most common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these studs resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    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.

    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 Metric Class 6H Thread Fit—These metric-threaded gauges are class 6H, which is comparable to the fit of those with Class 2B Unified Standard.
    For Thread Fit—Thread fit designates the tightness or looseness of mating threads.
