Nuts and bolts
are very important in today’s life.  They keep
things together. As the things they hold together
are different, the bolts are different too. There
is a wide variety of bolts available today.
Some of
the bolts are :
-
Stove Bolt - This bolt has threads all
the way till the end. It is used as a general utility
bolt.
-
Carriage Bolt -This bolt's head is rounded
with no slots. This can be used with wood. Since
it does not have protruding head it is used when
you do not want a protruding head .
-
Machine Bolt - This bolt is designed with
a hex head and is applied with a wrench. The entire
length is threaded and it is used as general utility
bolt
-
U, J and Eye bolt - These bolts do not
have heads and they are used to hang items
-
All thread bolt - This bolt does not have
head. It requires nuts at the ends. It is used when

alloy steel. Where high strength and more hardness
is required you can use these tempered and yellow

All the bolts
come with appropriate nuts. Hex or Square Nuts
are the most common nuts. They are available in various
finish and thickness. Generally they have square or
hex shaped head.

the bolt from loosening.
