Hillman Hanger Bolts - 3/8-16 X 4 Inch Stainless Steel, 6 Pack

These Hillman hanger bolts are one of those hardware items you might not think about until you need them, but when you do need them, nothing else will work.

They're kind of unique - one end has machine threads (the 3/8-16 part) and the other end has wood screw threads with a pointy tip.

This makes them perfect for when you need to attach something to wood but want a machine-threaded connection sticking out.

I used them for hanging some heavy shop lights from wooden ceiling joists - the wood screw end bites into the wood securely, and the machine thread end lets me use nuts to mount the light fixtures.

The stainless steel construction means they won't rust, which is great for humid environments like garages, bathrooms, or outdoor projects.

The 4 inch length gives you plenty of thread to work with for various applications.

They come in a pack of six, which is usually enough for most projects without having a ton left over.

Installation is simple - just drill a pilot hole in the wood, then screw these in until the wood threads are fully engaged.

The machine thread end stays clean and ready for whatever you're attaching.

Whether you're doing woodworking projects, hanging equipment, or need a sturdy connection between wood and metal components, these hanger bolts are super handy to have in your toolkit.
