Metric bolts come in 2 grades, 8.8 which is like a grade 5, and 10.9 which is like a grade 8. They are usually stamped on the head. Standard bolts are: grade 2, no marks on the head, grade 5, three marks on the head, grade 8, 6 marks on the head, and any more than 6 marks on the head, this is a hard alloy . Most all socket head bolts(allen key) are grade 12.9 Hope this helps someone, I sell bolts for a living, and deal with these issues all day long, great vids Dan, great work.
whoa nelly!! you tried to hit me below the belt with that one lol i'll have you know i'm very proud of that dent. i put it there with a shovel haha. that particular truck you speak of is purely for off roading fun and is not a show truck. the paint was done to protect and cover multi colors/welding. keep up the good vids and get joe back on cam! he is missed ;)

lol no sir. the reason i asked is i've never heard of anything over grade 8 i very well maybe wrong.. but im just saying behbeh! no hard feeling bro.

I was thinking of something else when I said that. You cought me slippin' and I called grade 8, grade 9.
I have many things going on here, and more than enough on my mind, so I tend too make a mistake from time too time.
Now go fix that dent in your fender.
