What is a shoulderless eye bolt?
Non-shouldered eye bolts are also commonly referred to as “plain pattern” eye bolts. Designed without a shoulder, they can only be used for truly vertical or in-line lifts. Non-shouldered eye bolts are not designed for, or intended to be used for, any type of side loading or angular loading.
What material should eye bolts be made of?
Eye bolts are made of various materials; the most common being carbon, stainless and alloy steel. Stainless steel eye bolts are essentially rust proof, due to steel composition that includes iron, chromium, manganese, silicon, nickel, molybdenum, and only very small amounts of carbon.
What is the difference between an eye bolt and a ring bolt?
The eye bolt has a single ring forged to the top of the shank, while the ring bolt has an additional ring that articulates around this first forged ring. This means that the eye bolt is designed to accommodate forces from straight above or below, while the ring bolt can handle forces coming from an angle.
How much weight can a 3/8 eye lag hold?

| 5/8 | 4,500 |
Should you drill pilot holes for lag bolts?
You must drill pilot holes so that you do not splinter the wood or damage the lag screw. Any screw with a large diameter needs a pilot hole for easier and quicker installation. Drilling a pilot hole ensures that your lag screw won’t break when you install it with a power drill. Torque can snap the head right off.

• Very important for safety – not only do nuts, bolt, screws, and fasteners keep things in place they keep things safe as well. This extends beyond home equipment, since nuts, bolts, fasteners and their ilk are likewise used in cars, planes, boat engines, and other machinery.
Why do bolts and nuts come loose?
Nuts and bolts can come loose over time due to many factors. The most common being vibration. Over time these vibrations can cause the nut to back off of a tightened assembly. Remember once a nut is tightened there is force pushing against that nut so shaking it will eventually spin it loose. This is simple enough to mitigate with a lock nut.

– SAE Grade 2 Bolts: Grade 2 bolts are a standard hardware grade of steel. This is the most common and least expensive grade. – SAE Grade 5 Bolts: Grade 5 bolts are indicated by three radial lines on the bolt head. – SAE Grade 8 Bolts: Grade 8 bolts are a heat-treated alloy steel that are stronger than grade 5.
Should you tighten the nut or the bolt?
There is no simple answer to this as in some instances, it is perfectly acceptable to tighten the bolt head while holding the nut in place. In other situations, it’s acceptable to tighten the nut. It all depends on the application and the condition of the product or material being worked with.
