Default Any idea what 'class 10.9' means in a black metric 8x125mmtwo-inch bolt?

That's good it's strong on tensile strength because I want to use it to
remove brake drums.

Based on the charts, it seems that the word "Class" is merely the metric
(i.e., ISO) set of standards while the SAE uses "Grade" and the ASTM uses
"Type" and "Grade" - but it seems they all connotate the same thing.
