I have the cable "quick tool box set" (Screwfix 89981)

Thread size is M4.

OK, I have the longer Super Rod set - and would agree with the M4 bit.

The other Screwfix product (82483) looks like the Super Rod "Cable Quick
Kit" which would appear to also have an M4 thread.

Apparently the cable quick sets are not compatible with their pro range
(which appears to be called "Cable Rod")

The So-called Hellermann Tyton stuff from CPC is from the Super Rod "Cable
Rod" range.

The TLC-direct stuff is also from Super Rod...

OK

The Super Rod set in my van measures 6mm for the diameter of the outside
thread and 8 threads per 10mm. This was measured by eye and using a tape
measure. Normally I would use my brothers mechanics skills to find an exact
size.

None of my metric taps fit the thread of the Hellerman torch accessory I
bought (still waiting for the magnet and chain set) the one marked 6 x
0.7 tap binds in the thread almost immediately, and the 6 x 1.0 tap
screws in a couple of turns before stopping. So I am guessing they are a
non metric thread.

I have no idea how to convert that into a thread size.

I have some M6 roofing bolts in the van. These do the first couple of turns
onto the Super Rod before becoming tight.

I would guess my 6 x 1.0 tap is the same as your bolt...

It does sound like your super rod set may be the same as the HT ones.

Inside the Super Rod packaging there is a customer care tel no. 01459 792000

I might give em a bell tomorrow.
