Let's face it, guessing hardware sizes can be like entering of black hole. Nuts and bolts of all shapes and sizes tumble forth, leaving you staring in confusion, wondering, "Which wrench goes with this nut or bolt?"

Unveiling the Mystery (The HexSizer can read from one flat of the nut):
There are two main types of nut and bolt sizers:
- Thread gauges: These have rows of holes in various sizes and thread pitches. Simply screw your unknown bolt or nut into the holes until you find the perfect fit. Voilà! You've identified the size and thread pattern.
