Why use bolts instead of screws?

Bolts are commonly used in through-hole joints that are secured with a nut, creating strong clamp force and easier disassembly than many screw-only joints.

What is the most commonly used bolt?

Hex bolts are the most common bolt style because their hex head is easy to grip with standard wrenches and sockets across many applications.

What is the difference between bolts and anchor bolts?

Bolts clamp parts together with a nut or tapped hole, while anchor bolts are designed to secure items to concrete, often by being embedded during a pour or set in masonry.
