Secure, reliable joints for DIY projects, furniture builds, and everyday repairs with the Hillman 1/2 in D x 5-1/2 in L Zinc Plated Steel Hex Bolt (25 pk). This box of hex bolts brings together a robust 1/2 inch diameter, a 5-1/2 inch length, and a zinc-plated finish engineered to resist corrosion in typical indoor environments and sheltered outdoor use.
Why this Hillman hex bolt stands out
-
1/2 in diameter provides a strong, dependable fastening for medium-duty applications.
-
5-1/2 in length enables deeper engagement through thicker materials and secure, long-lasting joints.
-
Coarse thread delivers quick, confident bite in wood and soft metals, reducing cross-threading during installation.
-
Zinc-plated steel offers a durable, rust-resistant finish that helps protect fasteners in everyday, indoor-use projects.
-
Grade 2 steel is chosen for general-purpose strength—ideal for most home improvement tasks without excessive rigidity.
-
25-pack in boxed packaging provides convenient, ready-to-use fasteners for ongoing projects or multiple builds.
-
Hex bolt design accepts a wrench or socket for solid, even torque, and pairs with matching nuts or tapped holes for versatile mounting options.
Ideal applications
Use these hex bolts for furniture assembly, shelving brackets, deck hardware, lattice work, and other wood-to-wood or wood-to-soft-metal connections. They’re well-suited for projects where a robust, easily driven fastener is needed, and the hex head ensures you can get a secure turn with common hand or power tools.

Practical tips for best results
Pair these bolts with the appropriate nuts and washers to distribute load and prevent pull-through. When assembling thicker assemblies, ensure you have a compatible nut size and a driver that provides adequate torque without stripping the hex head. For outdoor or heavily exposed environments, consider additional protective measures or a finish rated for harsher conditions to extend service life.
