I read they’re doing a recall on the left bend one. The right bends are okay tho.
Could’ve been a makeshift hook. Or a lock pin/bolt (literally) for one of those simple gate latches.
ive seen these used sticking out of concrete, the bend acting as the anchor… then the wood is bolted to this.
J Bolts for concrete don’t have a head on them. The bent part is embedded into the concrete and would never be turned. Forming a hex head would be a wasted extra production cost.
Ugh, happens to me all the time when I get overconfident trying to hammer in bolts.
What a remarkable bolt! Can it come and do my place when it’s finished?
Ah, the old… lemmy switcharoo?
I have a new thing that I miss most :(
Hold my torque wrench I’m going in.
Hello future people!
Hello from the future! Don’t mind me, just following a chain of Lemmy switcheroos.
Oh wow! Now my xeddit experience is complete! Hehe
get me in the screenshot
That there is a doodad, not to be confused with a thingamajig.
At my old job we had some of these on the wall for hanging our hardhats.
Could be useful as an allen 🤔
This is the most likely reason. I made a few of these when a regular Allen/Hex key is needed in a larger size than what you have on hand.
Could be similar to DIN875 or DIN878, depending on who you ask https://www.scribd.com/document/81939727/Sonderschrauben-fur-den-Maschinenbau
These bolts are like this from the factory - I have 4 on my honey extractor, they are used for other situations where you need to bolt one thing perpendicular to each other.
I think you can buy similar screws here lol
