M6–M12 A2 Stainless Steel Hex Head Lag Bolts — Buy Exactly the Size You Need, 1 to 20 Pieces

Ever needed a single metric lag bolt in an odd size but didn't want to buy a bulk box? These A2 stainless steel hex head lag bolts are sold in flexible quantities — 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 pieces — so you get exactly what your project calls for, no more, no less. Whether you're fastening a workbench leg, hanging a heavy shelf bracket, or repairing outdoor furniture, these self-tapping wood screws drive cleanly into timber with a standard hex wrench or socket.

Made from A2 (304) stainless steel, each bolt resists rust, oxidation, and corrosion — a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. Available in four thread diameters (M6, M8, M10, M12) and lengths from 30mm to 150mm (approximately 1-3/16" to 5-7/8"), with a coarse wood thread and sharp point that bites aggressively into softwood and hardwood alike.

Ideal for furniture assembly, deck repairs, timber framing, garden structures, machinery mounting, and any DIY project where you need a precise quantity of a specific metric lag bolt size.

Compatible with softwood and hardwood timber. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use including decks, garden sheds, fences, and furniture. For direct saltwater or marine environments, consider A4 (316) stainless instead.

✅ Key Features of These A2 Stainless Hex Lag Bolts

  • 📦 Flexible Quantity Options: Buy 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 pieces per order. No wasted fasteners — pay only for what your project actually needs, whether it's a single repair or a full build.
  • 🪵 A2 (304) Stainless Steel: Excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and heat tolerance. Outlasts regular steel and zinc-coated fasteners in outdoor, humid, and mildly corrosive environments.
  • 🔩 Hex Head Drive: External hexagon head accepts a standard socket or wrench — no cam-out, no stripped heads. Apply full torque with confidence even in tight spaces.
  • 🌳 Self-Tapping Wood Thread: Coarse, deep threads with a sharp point cut into softwood and hardwood for strong pull-out resistance. Pilot hole recommended for M10/M12 and hardwoods.
  • 📏 Wide Size Range: M6, M8, M10, and M12 thread diameters; lengths from 30mm to 150mm. Mix and match sizes in a single order to cover multiple project requirements.
  • Natural Stainless Finish: No plating to chip or wear. The solid A2 stainless body looks clean and performs consistently over years of indoor and outdoor service.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pre-drill before driving these hex lag bolts?

For M6 and M8 in softwood, the sharp tip often allows self-tapping without a pilot hole. For M10 and M12, or any size in hardwood (oak, maple, teak), always pre-drill with a bit approximately 70–80% of the bolt's core diameter. This prevents splitting and makes driving significantly easier. A pilot hole also ensures the bolt follows a straight path.

What tool do I need to tighten these hex head lag bolts?

You need a hex socket or open-end wrench matching the head size. Typical hex head sizes: M6 ≈ 10mm, M8 ≈ 13mm, M10 ≈ 16mm, M12 ≈ 18mm (verify against your specific bolt as tolerances vary). A ratcheting wrench or impact driver with a socket makes driving faster and easier, especially for longer bolts.

Can I use these A2 stainless lag bolts outdoors?

Yes. A2 (304) stainless offers good resistance to rain, humidity, and mild salt spray, making it suitable for decks, fences, garden sheds, and outdoor furniture. For direct saltwater immersion or extreme marine environments (docks, marinas), A4 (316) stainless is the better choice. For most general outdoor applications, these 304 hex lag bolts will significantly outlast regular steel or zinc-coated fasteners.

Why buy individual pieces instead of a bulk pack?

Many projects need just one or two specific sizes — replacing a broken lag bolt, mounting a new bracket, or repairing a single joint. Buying a bulk pack of 50 or 100 leaves you with leftover fasteners you may never use. With 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20-piece options, you pay only for what you need and can mix different diameters and lengths in a single order.

Are these bolts truly self-tapping in wood?

Yes — the sharp point and coarse wood thread cut into timber as you drive them. However, "self-tapping" doesn't mean a pilot hole is never needed. For best results and to avoid splitting, a pilot hole is recommended for M10/M12 and for any size in hardwood. The bolt will then follow the pilot hole cleanly and seat flush without cracking the wood.

How do I choose the right length for my project?

A general rule: the lag bolt should penetrate at least 1.5 times the thickness of the top material into the base timber. For example, if attaching a 20mm board to a post, select a length that gives you at least 30mm of thread engagement in the post. Length (L) is measured from under the head to the tip — the head height is not included in the stated length.

What is the difference between A2 and A4 stainless steel for lag bolts?

A2 (304) stainless is suitable for most indoor and outdoor applications including decks, furniture, and garden structures. A4 (316) stainless contains molybdenum, which provides significantly better resistance to chlorides and saltwater — making it the preferred choice for marine, coastal, and pool environments. If your project is near the ocean or in constant contact with salt water, choose A4 instead.
