Nice Bolts.
I don't know what you can say about 3/8" stainless steel bolts ? They arrived and they were correct, but in the end shorter than I needed, not the supplier's fault, mins ;)

Heck of a Hex Bolt
My expectations for this Stainless Steel 316 Hex Bolt 1/4"-28 3-1/4" Length, were not high when I ordererd this product. I had spent about an hour searching the internets for a hex bolt with the propper threading. I had already visited those big named stores, but they did not carry the thread count in a long enough length. So when I came apon this gem on amazon, I had nothing to loose. The price was fair, so I took the plunge. I quivered at my front window waiting for the package to arrive for what seemed like an lifetime, but in all fairness the shipping time was fast if not regular. Apon recieving the Hex Bolts, I was astonished. They were high above my expectations of what a Hex Bolt could be. Briliant color, sharp lines, it mesmorized me. The engineer who thought up this baby must have been the offspring of a mortal and greek god. I had a hard time deciding to finally use them, they are like fancy art, but in the end my microwave had to be installed under the cabinet...

Product Description
Hex bolts have a chamfered point to aid insertion into a tapped hole or nut. Length is measured from under the head.
Stainless steels are used for their corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, scaling resistance, and low-temperature toughness. These properties account for their extremely wide use in practically every industry. Austenitic Stainless Steels are alloys of iron and carbon that contain between 16% and 30% Chromium, a maximum of 0.15% carbon, along with Nickel (or Manganese), and other alloying elements. The chromium, which helps develop a passive surface oxide film, provides corrosion resistance in stainless steels. Austenitic Stainless Steels are designated by a 3 digit SAE Stainless Steel Grade beginning with the number 3 (e.g. 304, 316).
Stainless Steel 316 has a higher nickel and molybdenum content than most Austenitic stainless steels which means that this material offers more corrosion resistance without giving up strength or hardness. Tensile strength is 35,000 psi (pounds per square inch).
Hex head fasteners can be driven with simple wrenches, and require minimal clearance above the fastener because they can be driven or loosened from the side.
A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings. Top to learn more
