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.
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.
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.
Ugh, happens to me all the time when I get overconfident trying to hammer in bolts.
Could be similar to DIN875 or DIN878, depending on who you ask https://www.scribd.com/document/81939727/Sonderschrauben-fur-den-Maschinenbau
Could’ve been a makeshift hook. Or a lock pin/bolt (literally) for one of those simple gate latches.
I read they’re doing a recall on the left bend one. The right bends are okay tho.
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.
get me in the screenshot
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
