Product Information
Full details
This pack of 10 Diall M8 hex bolts and nuts is designed for DIY enthusiasts and general repair tasks. It offers a durable and reliable fastening solution for a variety of projects, constructed from robust carbon steel with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. A potential consideration is that the M8 diameter may not be suitable for extremely heavy-duty applications requiring larger fasteners.

FAQs
What material are these bolts and nuts made from?
They are constructed from durable carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish.
What is the diameter and length of these bolts?
The bolts have an M8 diameter and are 70mm in length.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the zinc plating provides resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for many outdoor applications, though prolonged exposure to harsh conditions should be managed.
How many bolts and nuts are included in the pack?
The pack contains 10 M8 hex bolts and 10 M8 hex nuts.
What tools are typically needed to install these?
Standard metric wrenches or sockets are required. For M8 fasteners, this is commonly a 13mm size.
Can I use these for structural applications?
They are suitable for general DIY and light-duty construction. For heavy-duty or critical structural applications, consult an engineer or use fasteners specifically rated for such loads.
Troubleshooting
Bolt won't thread into nut
Ensure you are using an M8 nut with an M8 bolt. Check for any visible damage or cross-threading on both the bolt and nut. Gently try to realign and restart threading.
Nut is difficult to tighten
Verify that the materials being joined are properly aligned and not shifting. Ensure the bolt is fully seated and not obstructed. Clean any debris from the bolt threads and nut interior.
Bolt feels weak or bends under pressure
This may indicate the application exceeds the fastener's strength rating. Ensure the application is suitable for standard carbon steel fasteners and not a heavy-duty requirement. Do not overtighten, as this can also damage the bolt.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Constructed from strong carbon steel for reliable performance.
- Zinc plating offers good corrosion resistance.
- Standard M8 size is versatile for many applications.
- Pack of 10 provides good value for common DIY needs.
- Easy to install with standard tools.
Cons
- May not be suitable for very heavy-duty structural applications.
- Carbon steel can be susceptible to rust if plating is heavily damaged.
- Specific length of 70mm might be too long or too short for some niche applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These M8 hex bolts and nuts are designed for straightforward use. Simply insert the bolt through the materials to be joined and thread the nut onto the bolt. Tighten using appropriate wrenches or sockets (typically 13mm for M8 nuts and bolt heads, though this can vary slightly). Ensure the bolt passes through aligned holes in the materials.
Compatibility: The M8 diameter is a standard metric size, compatible with other M8 nuts, washers, and threaded components. The 70mm length is designed for materials with a combined thickness that allows for adequate thread engagement of the bolt once the nut is secured.
Care: To maintain the integrity of the zinc plating and prevent corrosion, avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments. If rust spots appear, they can often be cleaned and the area treated with a rust inhibitor. Store unused bolts and nuts in a dry place, ideally in their original packaging or a sealed container.
