Ok so I had a piece of plastic that was handy for me.... it was a plastic card that had holes in it with the different sizes... was nice for when I went to the local steel shop... I just bought a huge bag of grade 8 bolts... I would use it to sort them out real quick..... well that broke and I lost it...
well I dont remember where I got it...

so if anyone knows what the hell it is called or where to buy one please let me know...
Thanks!
Jeff

just make your own. get a piece of 16 ga. or anything else you have laying around, and drill holes in it, then write the sizes on w/ a marker.
 
Home depot has one similar. I have seen in the nut and bolt aisle. Its got some handy stuff on it, I have used it in HD search of bolts and I think it is only a couple bucks. It is white and blue.
