What Are These Called...?

[ToraToraTora]

Bolt like things that have one end that turns to become a T so you can push them through a hole and turn the end to lock in place? I know what I mean but I have no idea what to search for on ebay!

Is it a turn lock you are looking for TTT?

no thats not what I mean. Imagine a bolt that has a hinge so that it can bend into an L but but in the down bit of the L it has a another peice to that when you bend it out it becomes a T (upside down if we are using the L to start from. I've seen them but I have no idea what they are called!

[humbersloop]

can't work it out from that, what's it used for?

[Xeronema]

Are they spring loaded hinges?

[Xeronema]

If so then it might be a toggle bolt.

What do you want to use them for?

[Xeronema]

Aye I think BHG might have it there. Used on things like Trailers.

Imagine 2 peices of wood, instead of bolting them together I want to have a quick release fastening. I have 2 peices of 1x3.

tora, for the hard of thinking among us - although I can imagine two pieces of wood - why do you want to bolt them together and release them?

[bhg481]

OK, look here then:

TTT: Have you looked at BHG's post (URL)? Even if that isn't what you're thinking of; with a washer on the end, those are the best things for the job that you want to do.

We're all posting the same stuff now :) I'm outty, Sayōnara!

[ToraToraTora]

ok thanks everyone, they are not what I was imagining but the antiluces will do the job. thanks

Will quick release bolts from a bike be better?
They will at least tighten the bits of wood together, something the antiluces won't do.
