Why this hex bolt stands out
-

-
Optimal dimensions for versatility: 3/4 inch diameter with a 4 inch length provides ample bite for a variety of lumber and metal connections, accommodating a wide range of fastening needs.
-
Coarse-thread convenience: The UNC coarse thread delivers quick and forgiving assembly, especially effective with softwood or lightly seasoned lumber, while also pairing well with standard nuts and washers.
-
Grade 2 general-purpose reliability: A common hardware-grade choice that excels in everyday applications where strength and durability are essential, without exceeding budget or weight considerations.

Practical packaging: Boxed packaging with 20 bolts per box makes stocking up simple and ensures you have spares on hand for ongoing projects.
Ideal uses and real-world scenarios
- Deck framing and railing connections where a sturdy, reliable bolt is required without specialized hardware.
- Furniture assembly and shelving installations that demand a robust fastener for long-lasting joints.
- Wood-to-metal applications, such as mounting brackets, brackets to framing members, or securing hardware to timber structures.
- General-purpose repairs around the shop or home where a durable, easy-to-install bolt is the right tool for the job.
How to use it effectively
- Pair with matching hex nuts and, when appropriate, flat washers to distribute load and protect surfaces.
- Pre-drill pilot holes in hardwoods to reduce splitting and ensure clean driving, then snug the bolt with a wrench or socket for a secure fit.
- Consider a thread-locking compound or washer in vibration-prone applications to prevent loosening over time.
- Store in the boxed package for quick replenishment and organized workspaces.
