I, too, know what you are looking for. I do not know a name or a
source. I have had a few things that had a square cross section
threaded on the outside edges. This could be accomplished with
square hot rolled stock and a good threading die.

I am looking for a 1/2" or 3/4" threaded steel rod (or a bolt at
least 4"
long) that has been cut so that it has two flat sides. Sorta
like this:

It allows a nut to be threaded on it normally but the flat sides
allow
something to be slid over the rod yet not be able to be spun
around the rod
-- if that thing has a complementary non-round hole. Does this
type rod
have a name? Sources? TIA. -- Igor
