WIRE/DRILL GAUGE GAUGE

The Beadsmith Wire/Drill Gauge is a circular gauge that is used for measuring the thickness of wires, which is particularly ideal for unknown sizes, as well as unmarked drill bits. Use this tool as an extremely easy way to measure all types of wire. Because this tool is so easy to use it is such a time saver too. Made from high-quality steel, this sizer will not rush or tarnish and is very long lasting. This disk-like tool features laser cut slots and clearly marked measurement indications using Imperial Standard sizes 1-36. The round hole in the center of the gauge makes it easy to keep your hand out of the way while measuring. To determine the size of your wire, simply try the wire in multiple slots until it fits correctly without being forced. Once it is in its correct slot, use the included conversion sheet to figure out the coordinating inches and/or millimeters of your wire. This will give you the diameter, or thickness, of the wire or drill bits. This can also be used for other items that can fit into the slots. This measuring tool is often found in an electrician’s toolbox, as the gauge is essential to find out the sizes of wire and cords when they are troubleshooting and repairing electrical malfunctions. Jewelry designers find these useful when using craft wire to create bracelets, rings, pendants, and cuffs. Metalsmiths use the sizers when forging pieces of art or home décor.
