Bolts

Bolts are one of the must-have tools allowing you to put together and secure materials by applying pressure from the head. Bolts are typically made of steel or stainless steel providing strength and rigidity to their construction, and are available in a variety of coatings to inhibit corrosion and ward off rusting. These threaded fasteners are not usually tapered at one end to a point like screws, so they need a pretapped or drilled hole to drive into. For added strength, bolts are used together with nuts or washers as anchors to form a stronger bond for a secure hold.

There are different bolt types including carriage, stove and machine. They also come with various head designs such as pan, round, truss, flat, oval. Other bolt types such as masonry, toggle and expansion are designed for proper weight distribution when bolting to a hollow wall. Bolts may also be capped by hex, socket or cheese heads. Carriage and stove bolts are made in coarse gauge, while machine bolts are either fine-threaded or coarse-threaded. Carriage bolts are usually up to 10 inches long, stove – up to 6 and machine – up to 30. You can opt for longer bolt sizes for your specific project.
