They are known as carriage bolts here in the UK.They have a square collar just under the head to grip the wood so you can put the nut on without the bolt turning in the hole as you tighten it.

That is true. That said, Askthebuilder's videos are too useful to risk upsetting the lad. As far as I am concerned he can call them Minny Mouse's dido if that makes him happy. I am currently renovating a property and Tim's advice has been invaluable. Apart from everything else, he is so bloody cheerful.
A good tip if you have to hammer threaded rod into the hole is to thread the nut (and washers) on the end you hammer first - if you damage the start thread with the hammer it will be very hard to get the nut on the rod. Just make sure you wind it a few turns past the end of the rod so you are not using the hammer on the nut, but on the rod.
That's not true. They are called hex-head bolts. The term through-bolt refers to a fastener that passes completely through the pieces of wood as opposed to a lag bolt fastener. Thanks for your comment!
Correct!!!

That is a carraige bolt. A thru bolt has a hex head on either end.
