Got them through Amazon, but they came from here.....

http://www.threadtoolsupply.com/metric-thread-checker.html

Saved a few dollars, total was $76.86

I noticed that the S&W site list there being only 21 inch sizes, but the ones from Thread Tool Supply have 23 inch sizes. The metric are both 21 sizes.

$65 ish for both full sets.

You'll never look back.
Looks like they changes the "ball handle" design for the bolt checker. No biggie.

Still an awesome product worth every penny to me.

Funniest looking sockets I ever seen!

Those are nice . . . . . sure beats the heck out of spending hours digging through dad's junk drawer of bolts when I was a kid!!

Dad thought they "were organized" in that wood screws were kept seperate from bolts!!

Man, I really need to get a set but I just don't want to spend the $$$. I've made it 30 + years so I guess I can keep doing it the hard way.

Hey me too!, got mine yesterday, took about 2 weeks from US to oz, cost $95 for the pair delivered, very happy with the quality. I made my own set years ago but they look rather shabby next to these ones.

They have a wall mounted version just like Home Depot has. Been looking for one for my garage for a while now. http://www.swmanufacturing.com/parts_category.asp?TYP_ID=41

But like Exceller8 says "made it 30 years without it". I don't fumble with that stuff as much like i used to. But if the price was right i hang one. If worst comes to worst I could use my thread gauge in my tap and die set.

For some reason it makes me remember one of the first projects I had in high school metal shop back in the day. We each made a tool guage that had a V cut in one end with the proper angle for sharpening bits and various threaded holes put in it to determine thread and bolt size. However thats nice! Good thing I don't have $70 bucks burning a hole in my pocket now... I just got robbed by the tax man and I"m cleaned OUT.

I use them at work and they are nice. I just can't justify the expense for home use. I bet I wouldn't use them more than a few times a year.
