Description
Pick what goes on each side of a metal 4-5/8" Heavy Hex Gauge, and I laser engrave it for you.
Some crews work inch and metric. Some want the heavy hex scale on one side and SAE on the other. Some want their name on the back so the gauge finds its way home. Choose your two sides from the list below, and I engrave them on a navy anodized gauge made from 6061 aerospace aluminum. It's wallet size, 2" x 3-3/8", and rated to a little over 1000°F.
Step 1: Pick your two sides
- Heavy Hex inch: nuts from one flat, 1-1/16" to 4-5/8", and studs 5/8" to 3"
- Heavy Hex metric: nuts 32 mm to 120 mm, studs M22 to M76
- Heavy Hex inch + contact info, or Heavy Hex metric + contact info: the heavy hex scale shares the side with your name, phone and email
- SAE inch: everyday nuts and bolts in fractional inch sizes
- SAE metric: everyday nuts and bolts in millimeters
Every side is already designed. The photos show each one.
Step 2: Contact info (only for "Contact Info" sides)
If you picked a side with contact info, fill in the top, middle and bottom lines below the side choices: name or company, phone and email. They print in that order, as the sample photos show. You can upload a simple logo for that space too. If you didn't pick a contact info side, leave the lines blank. There's nowhere else on the gauge to put them.
Step 3: Choose your proof
- Run it without a proof. The fastest way.
- Email me a proof first. Nothing runs until you say it's right.
- Ship me a real sample first, $15.99. Hold it in your hand before the full run.
Color and turnaround
Navy blue is the standard color. I sometimes have gold, red or black on the shelf. Email me before you order if you want one of those. Orders ship in 5 working days.
Need more than a stock side?
If you want your company logo engraved large, your company color or a side of your own design, like a torque sequence chart, that's the custom anodized program.
Working on nuts bigger than 4-5/8"? The 6-1/8" version has the same heavy hex side choices on a larger gauge (no SAE).
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum?
No. Order one or a thousand. The price per piece drops as the quantity goes up, and the quantity pricing is shown next to the price.
Can I put my logo on it?
A simple logo fits in the contact info space, so pick a Contact Info side. For a large logo, see the custom anodized program.
What color is the engraving?
White or a very bright silver.
Will it take the heat?
Yes. It's rated to a little over 1000°F (538°C), so it works on hot units and live steam lines where a plastic gauge would melt.
