3/8-16 x 3 in. Hex-Head Bolt, 18-8 Stainless Steel, Hex

Get dependable fastening performance with this 3/8-16 x 3 in. hex-head bolt, made from corrosion-resistant 18-8 stainless steel. Hex-head bolts are an excellent choice for applications where a strong, secure connection is needed without relying on threads cut directly into the wood. They are especially useful for exterior construction projects such as decks, docks, outdoor structures, and general woodworking applications.

Unlike standard zinc-plated bolts, which can corrode quickly when exposed to moisture and outdoor conditions, 18-8 stainless steel provides significantly improved corrosion resistance. The hex head allows for easy installation and tightening with a standard wrench or socket.
