Description
When you’re fixing equipment or building something in the shop, having quality bolts on hand makes all the difference. These 3/8-inch Grade 5 hex bolts are the workhorses of farm hardware—strong enough for most repair jobs but won’t break the bank like Grade 8 bolts. The 2-1/4 inch length is perfect for bolting through medium-thick steel or when you need to sandwich a couple pieces together.
What You’re Getting
- Grade 5 strength that’s about 25% stronger than hardware store bolts
- Zinc coating that fights off rust and moisture for seasons to come
- Standard 3/8-16 thread that works with common nuts and threaded holes
- Convenient 50-piece pack so you’ll have spares when you need them
Built for Real Farm Work
These bolts handle the everyday repair and maintenance jobs around the farm—from fixing loader brackets to rebuilding cultivator sweeps. The 3/8-inch size is perfect for lighter to medium-duty connections where you need more strength than a 1/4-inch bolt but don’t need the overkill of a 1/2-inch. You’ll find yourself reaching for this size when working on three-point attachments, gates, and shop-built equipment.
Made to Last
The zinc plating helps these bolts stand up to moisture and road salt, so they won’t rust out on you after a season or two. Grade 5 steel gives you the sweet spot between strength and cost—they’ll handle the stress but won’t cost as much as premium Grade 8 hardware.
Good to Know
Always use a flat washer under the head and nut to spread the load properly. If you’re replacing rusted bolts, clean out the threads with a tap first. A dab of anti-seize compound on the threads makes future removal much easier, especially if the connection might see heat or road salt.
