What is the largest size included in the pack?

Troubleshooting
Bolt feels loose in pre-drilled hole
Verify the bolt diameter matches your hole size and consider using a washer if the hole diameter is slightly oversized.
Nut is difficult to thread onto the bolt
Check the threads for debris or paint; clean them if necessary and ensure the bolt and nut are perfectly aligned before turning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, always match the bolt diameter to the pilot hole size for wood or the pre-drilled aperture for metal. Avoid over-tightening with power tools, as excessive torque can strip the threads. While the zinc plating provides a layer of protection, it is recommended to keep the storage case in a dry environment to prevent moisture buildup inside the compartments. If the threads become slightly dirty, clean them with a wire brush before use to ensure a smooth, secure fit. Always ensure you are using a properly sized wrench or socket that fits the hexagonal head snugly to prevent rounding the edges.
