Metric Bolts• 10mm x 1.50 x 60mm

• 10mm size of bolt

• 1.50 pitch of thread

• 60mm length of the bolt in millimeters

• Be careful of some, cannot tell apart by naked eye without thread pitch gauge might screw on each other but hard, will strip out the bolt or nut.

• The head of the bolt should have a number on it like 4.8, 8.8 helps you to identify metric bolts.

Tap and Die rules• Use cutting oil when using Taps and Dies

• Keep Tap square with hole

• Keep backing off Tap to break chips off (1 turn in 1/2 turn back

• Keep Taps and Dies clean and lightly oiled

• Keep Taps in storage box separate from others so you will not damage the cutting edge

• Make sure all the tools are in the box when you return it to the tool room
