bolt thread pitch charts and such

[AtomicHoe094]

When you got into sears/lowes/ or any other hardware store, they have those charts hanging on the wall you can screw your bolt into and it tells you the exact bolt that is. say 12mm bolt or 1/2' diameter bolt with such and such threads. Do they sell those charts or anyone know how to go exactly about making on? i dont want to spend 50 bucks on bolts, but id like to have one of those handy. Dont want any stripped threads
thanks

a good tap and die kit will have a set of tools(gauges) for that. they look like small combs.

Yeah they look like a rectangular plastic cards or phamplets. "bolt thread chart" on amazon far a few then click on one scroll down and all kinds of similars start showing. Also sold in the toll section of homedepot. The pitch tools are like feeler gauge pull outs.
