Looks like a wallhook to me.

I think you can buy similar screws here lol

That 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.

Ugh, happens to me all the time when I get overconfident trying to hammer in bolts.

At my old job we had some of these on the wall for hanging our hardhats.

Very strange, but looks prebent

nogrub,

get yourself an acyzelen torch and then you can get your very own prebent 90° bolt for thoose tight spaces

What a remarkable bolt! Can it come and do my place when it’s finished?

My first thought - aww, what a clever little bolt, and cute to boot!

I’ve had to help someone tighten a bolt like this before. It was used to attach the deck assembly to the underside of a riding lawnmower.

ive seen these used sticking out of concrete, the bend acting as the anchor... then the wood is bolted to this.

Tandybaum,

I could see but it seems like a washer would be a much easier way to do this rather than bending like that

over_clox,

Even with a washer, the head of a straight bolt won’t hold very well in concrete when you go trying to tighten it, it’ll most likely start spinning and possibly even damage the concrete.

Tandybaum,

That’s true. I was thinking pull through but you’re right about spinning while tightening.

geekworking,

J 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.

Really well done! I hadn’t thought about a pixel art cake before and now I want one.

Well, now I know what cake I want for my next birthday.

eestileib, in Mario Cake for a Mario Fan

That cake would have been cool as hell any time in the last thirty years.

espentan, in in Western Australia, they have trees that are pinned for climbing. This is filmed from the point of view climbing a 65m (215ft) tall one.

Thanks for letting us ride along. Beautiful view from up there!

Being from Norway I’m always a bit fascinated by huge swats of flat land. Up here there’s rarely more than a couple of kilometers of flat terrain before you encounter a large hill or a mountain.

odium,

Meanwhile, as someone who has always lived in flat areas, I’m fascinated by mountains.

Agent641,

This particular terrain is considered rather hilly where Im from…

We do have flatter land. Where my dad lives it feels like you could pour out a cup of water and it will spread out for a kilometer in every direction.

What an incredible job! What a lucky kid you've got!
