What size are the J hook bolts?
The bolts are M6 in diameter and 100mm in length.
Do the bolts come with nuts?

How many bolts are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 J hook bolts and 10 matching square nuts.
What type of finish do the bolts have?

The M6 size is generally suitable for medium-duty applications. For heavy-duty structural requirements, larger or specifically rated fasteners should be considered.

Troubleshooting
Bolt is difficult to thread into nut.
Ensure the threads on both the bolt and the nut are clean and free from debris. Check that the nut is the correct M6 square nut provided with the bolt.
Bolt spins when tightening nut.
The J hook end may not be adequately seated or providing enough grip against the material. Ensure the hook is properly engaged and consider using a clamp to hold the bolt head while tightening the nut.
Rust appears on the bolt surface.
While the finish is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can eventually lead to surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a suitable metal protector or paint if necessary.
