In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Meet the Hillman 1/4 in. D x 6 in. L Zinc Plated Steel Hex Tap Bolt — a durable, versatile fastener built to deliver reliable through-bolting and secure joints in a variety of projects. With a 1/4" hex head and a full 6" length, this bolt provides solid engagement and effortless turning in tight spaces where a nut or tapped hole is required.

Designed for everyday hardware tasks, this hex tap bolt is crafted from steel and finished with a zinc plating to resist rust and corrosion. Its Grade 2 construction offers dependable strength for general-purpose applications, from woodworking projects to light metal fabrication. The fully threaded shank ensures maximum thread engagement along the entire length, delivering consistent clamping power.

  • Diameter: 1/4 in
  • Length: 6 in
  • Head diameter: 1/4 in
  • Material: Steel
  • Finish: Zinc plated
  • Thread type: Fully threaded
  • Grade: 2
  • Packaging: Boxed
  • Number of pieces: 100 pc
  • Product type: Hex tap bolt

Where to use it: ideal for through-bolting joints that require strong, continuous thread engagement—think securing metal brackets to wood frames, fastening components in outdoor furniture, mounting hardware to structural timbers, or constructing lightweight machinery where a nut will be used on the opposite side. The zinc finish provides a practical level of corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor settings.

Why this bolt stands out: the combination of a robust 1/4" diameter, a full 6" length, and a fully threaded shaft means you won’t have to hunt for spare nuts or short bolts mid-project. The Hillman name adds reliability you can trust in everyday shop tasks or DIY weekend projects.

Practical tips for best results: match this tap bolt with the correct nut and washer, and ensure you’ve got a compatible tapped hole or nut on the opposite side. For wood, consider predrilling a pilot hole to reduce splitting; for metal, align parts precisely before tightening. Use a wrench or socket that fits the hex head to apply steady, even torque and avoid cross-threading. When not in use, keep bolts clean and dry to preserve the zinc finish and ease future removal.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
