Hillman 1/2 in. diameter x 5 in. length Zinc-Plated Steel Hex Tap Bolts come in a convenient 25-pack, ready to tackle a wide range of fastening tasks with confidence.

What makes these bolts different
-
1/2-inch hex head designed for easy tightening with standard wrenches or sockets, so you can work quickly without slippage.
-
5-inch length provides ample thread engagement for secure clamping in thicker materials or through multiple components.
-
Coarse thread delivers faster engagement and strong bite in softer metals and common construction materials, reducing installation time on busy projects.
-
Fully threaded body along the entire length to optimize grip and allow precise tensioning for dependable assemblies.
-
Zinc-plated steel offers corrosion resistance, helping your installations stand up to humidity, dust, and routine wear in indoor or lightly exposed environments.
-
Grade 2 steel provides solid, general-purpose strength for everyday fastening needs without over-specifying for typical DIY and light-industrial tasks.
-
Boxed in a 25-piece set for ready-to-use convenience in workshops, garages, or job sites, with consistent sizing and quality.
Ideal uses
- Assembling metal shelving, brackets, and frames where a strong, flush, and adjustable connection is needed.
- Securing machinery mounts, panels, or service access panels in light-industrial or automotive-adjacent projects.
- Repairs or retrofits in equipment and appliances that require reliable, full-length threading for repeated disassembly and reassembly.
- Any project that benefits from a durable, corrosion-resistant fastener with straightforward installation.
Tips for best results
- Pair with a compatible nut or tapped hole to achieve a secure, clean joint. Use washers where load distribution or protecting surfaces is important.
- Keep the thread engagement comfortable—don’t overtighten beyond what the material can safely handle, especially with Grade 2 steel.
- Store the boxed bolts in a dry place to maintain the zinc finish and prevent corrosion over time.
