I use so many bolts, but not to many at 3/4" and thicker. So I checked all but what I just mentioned. But I would have to say, that the 1/2" is probably the most I use when building, this includes J-bolts, I like to make my own.....

Last time I used any die smaller then 1/2" that was a running thread was when I was a machinist.

I may be wrong, but I doubt many trades would have a use for them outside machinists.

I wonder what the odds are of two completely different companies from two different states deciding to make bolt dies for RIDGID 811/815 die heads, and then deciding to sign up here and tell us about them on the same day?

And why would they come here to sell their bolt dies when we already sell our own?

Or maybe I'm just jaded...
