FAQs
What material are these bolts made from?
These bolts are constructed from durable carbon steel.
What is the finish on these bolts?

What is the diameter and length of these bolts?
The bolts have an M8 diameter and are 50mm in length.
Can these bolts be used outdoors?
They can be used outdoors for general applications, but the zinc plating offers limited protection. For extended outdoor use or in harsh environments, additional protective coatings are recommended.

How many bolts are in this pack?
This pack contains 100 bolts.
What tools are needed to tighten these bolts?
A standard M8 wrench or socket is required to tighten the hex head of these bolts.
Troubleshooting
Bolt does not thread smoothly into a nut.
Check for cross-threading or debris in the bolt's threads or the nut. Ensure you are using an M8 nut with the M8 bolt. Gently try to back the bolt out and re-align it.
Stripped hex head during tightening.
Ensure you are using the correct size wrench or socket for the M8 hex head. Apply steady, even pressure rather than sudden force. If the head is already stripped, a locking plier might be necessary to remove it.
Corrosion or rust appearing on the bolt.
This can occur with prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances. For continued use, clean the affected area and consider applying a rust inhibitor or a protective coating suitable for metal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Cost-effective for large projects due to the bulk pack.
- Durable carbon steel ensures reliable performance.
- Standard M8 size is compatible with many nuts and pre-drilled holes.
- Zinc plating offers basic protection against rust and corrosion.
- Hex head design allows for secure grip and easy installation.
Cons
- Not intended for extreme or highly corrosive environments without additional protective coatings.
- May require specific wrenches for the M8 hex head.
- The 50mm length might be too short or too long for certain specialized applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These bolts are ready for immediate use. Ensure you have the appropriate M8 nuts and any necessary tools, such as an M8 wrench or socket, for installation. Align the bolt with the intended hole and thread the nut on by hand initially to ensure proper engagement before tightening.
Compatibility: The M8 diameter is a standard metric size, compatible with most M8 nuts and threaded inserts. The 50mm length is suitable for materials with a combined thickness up to approximately 40-45mm, depending on nut engagement. They are generally compatible with wood, plastics, and metal when used with appropriate fixtures.
Care: To maintain the integrity of the zinc plating and prevent corrosion, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh, wet, or chemically aggressive environments. If used outdoors, consider applying a sealant or wax for additional protection. Store the bolts in a dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a suitable container, to prevent them from becoming mixed with dirt or debris.
