ive seen these used sticking out of concrete, the bend acting as the anchor... then the wood is bolted to this.
46 0 ReplyJ 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.
23 0 ReplyI could see but it seems like a washer would be a much easier way to do this rather than bending like that

Ugh, happens to me all the time when I get overconfident trying to hammer in bolts.
24 0 ReplyAt my old job we had some of these on the wall for hanging our hardhats.
22 0 ReplyThat is one of those right angle bolts for getting into tight places. Hang onto it because they cost about $15 each new. It is specially made to transfer the torque from the head around the 90 degree bend. Just line it up with the nut, slap a driver on there and go to town. I promise, it will be amazing and nothing bad will happen.

Could’ve been a makeshift hook. Or a lock pin/bolt (literally) for one of those simple gate latches.

5 0 ReplyThis 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.
