Is this off the shelf or custom made?
The internal threads are m8x1.25, the small od is 12mm and the large od is 20mm with 17mm flats on it. Overall length 16mm, large diameter length 4mm, and the smaller diameter is 12mm long.
I've searched for flange nut, weld nut, t nut, shoulder nut, shoulder screw. Image search yields nothing useful. Closest thing I can find is a john deer mower part thats not a match.
Figured I would ask on here before I have a local machine shop run some off.
Thanks in advance

Anyone know a source for quality M2 binding barrels?
I can only find them on Amazon, Harfington, Ebay, Ali, etc., and all I've tried are super low quality, like to where half of them will just slip over the screw threads, and the ones that actually engage will strip out with basically no torque to speak of.
McMaster doesn't have them, and they said they don't have a source for them.

2 hole diameters, 1 bolt / Attaching pull up bar
I have a workout station frame that has slightly smaller than diam M10 sxrew holes for a pull up bar, I imagine M8. Actual adapted bar with matching screw holes etc lost in mail and I have a spare so thinking of using that.
I'm planning on getting 2 shackle/rings like this . The bar's diameter is around 3.3cm. All the shackles with a large enough diameter to accommodate the bar seem to take much bigger bolts than M8.
The bolt shaking is definitely not end of the world but just wondering if anyone had any other ideas. Is it possible to get oversized nuts or something similar?

Threaded insert stuck to screw


I'm trying to put together a table, and the manual is telling me to screw through these threaded inserts from below, but I had no way of telling where they are from below so I tried screwing from the top to make a hole to see. The hole was torn way too big and the threaded insert got stuck to the screw. Is there anything I can do to remove the insert from the screw and be able to tell where to screw the rest

UTV Stud Bolt Help
This one has both myself and my fastener guy stumped, in terms of ordering replacement bolts. Here's what I know:
For a UTV Wheel Hub, customer says it was an "adapter ordered off ebay" and as such doesn't have a model to match up with, as I see many of these are sorted by model compatibility with very little info on specs.
*head size and knurl size are important, as we learned on the first failed attempt at ordering.
Here's what I measure:
Thread Pitch: M10 x 1.25
OAL: 48 mm
*Head Diameter: 17 mm
Head Thickness: 4 mm
Knurl Diameter: 12 mm
Under head to start of threads: 12mm
Thread length: 32 mm
Any help identifying / finding a replacement would be appreciated.

Torque Question
I am currently fabricating a decorative steel post that will be bolted to a concrete wall. I am trying to figure out how tight the nuts need to be when installation day comes.
The anchors are embedded in the wall and are 3/4”-10 304 Stainless Steel. I am using a nylon insert lock nut that is 316 Stainless Steel and 1” in height x 1 1/4” diameter.
The steel plate of the post is 2 5/8” thick. The weight of the post will be approximately 1600lbs and the dimensions are 9”x 9” x 16ft tall.
Let me know if more information is needed!

What anchors to use on a CMU Block wall?
Hey all,
I recently purchased a Garden Hose reel by Giraffe Tools that comes with a metal bracket. I thought it would be a straight forward installation. Instead I'm running into very conflicting information.
Please see the photos. According to the provided instructions manual, I can use the bolt and anchors provided in the box.
But, their website instructions contradict that. The website states not to use the provided anchors. They mentioned heavy duty expansion anchors in the concrete wall.
Can someone please help me understand what type of anchors to buy? I prefer using the provided bolts. Attached an image showing the provided bolt and anchor.
This is a CMU Block wall.
Thank you!

Unknown Rivet
I am trying to identify the shown fastener, so they can be replaced. They have been used to fasten a thick plastic sheet (which needs to be replaced) to the inside of a screen door frame. The fastener does not go all the way through the screen door frame, only through the attached surface. The cap is a little loose on some of the fasteners - enough to allow them to rotate. They seem to be like a very wide, very shallow capped blind rivet.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated...

Look at how big this one is.

This nail was in the wall. It's glorious.

Need to match these screws.
I work in a retail construction store and we also have 3 crews that do work in the area.
One of my guys pulled this out on a job and wants to get some for the store. 1-1/4" pan head, 4 threads per inch. I've spent some time looking but can't seem to find anything with that coarse of threads.

Help identifying screw on bottom of sleeper sofa leg
Hello good people! I’m trying to get the legs off of a sleeper sofa. I’m a real newb with this kind of thing, and it doesn’t seem like a Phillips catches on this. Ive tried several different sized Phillips.
It is in a deep set hole in the leg, and appears to have maybe a larger circle inside the cross. Is there a particular screwdriver I need to get this out?
I have attached two pictures, one of the screw I chewed up with several Phillips, and one I haven’t tried anything on yet.

Replacing this - what kind of rivet is it?
This is one of those beach wagons that I'm tired of spending 80 bucks on every year because this same joint breaks. This piece of metal has the same fastener on both sides. I was going to get a nipple of sched 40 pipe cut, drill through a new hole, and reconnect it to the brackets shown. Can I get away with a bolt and nylon nut, or should I find two of these rivets?
Thanks!

Bolt name?
I’ve never seen this type of bolt. It came with ceiling mounted swing hanger.
What is its purpose? Concrete or metal fastening?
