For builders, makers, and seasoned DIYers who demand dependable, general-purpose fasteners, Hillman 1/4 in. diameter x 6 in. long zinc-plated steel hex bolts deliver straightforward, long-lasting performance. This 100-pack boxed set streamlines the shop and makes routine assembly tasks faster and cleaner.
The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for light outdoor or moisture-prone environments, while Grade 2 steel offers reliable strength for everyday fastening in wood, soft metals, and composites.
