Over the weekend I was doing a bit of work involving some Powerstrut and
3/8" all-thread hanger rod. I bought 5 10' lengths of the all-thread and
was happily cutting 48" lengths and assembling with coupling nuts and
Powerstrut spring nuts.

I went to start assembling one section and the nut wouldn't thread on.
Expecting to find a burr left from cutting the all-thread with a
Sawzall, I looked closer, slowly turning the all-thread looking for the
burred or mashed thread start. After a couple revolutions without
finding the thread start, I looked even closer, putting a fingernail in
a grove and rotating the all-thread.

More rotation and my fingernail was not moving axially. Somehow, this
10' length of all-thread had a wee little mishap in the thread roller
and it rolled a nice series of groves - no helix at all. Impressive, and
good quality control.


ROFLMAO!!!

A guy I know once bought 16 head bolts when rebuilding his truck engine.

half of them were just as you described.
