I don't understand why you persist.

Common UK parlance for a bolt and a set screw is that there is thread the entire length
of the set screw, whereas a bolt is only partly threaded.



Clearly the "experts" at the University of Leytonfasteners along with Professor Turnip
have never heard of "roofing bolts" either.

Again, you're talking of another profession. I'm sure he has heard of
them in much the same way I have come across them.

As others have said screws/bolts with a different head, in this case a
dual slotted head, are sometimes referred to interchangeably.

Is it really so hard for you to accept?
