Bolts grip and distribute differently, depending on variables such as thread pitch, head size and, of course, whether the bolt is fully or partially threaded. To ensure proper grip and resistance to breakage, itâs important to use a bolt that meets the original engineering specs. Full vs. Partial Threads. To understand how these bolts grip differently, itâs important to understand the basic differences in their designs. Fully Threaded Metric Bolts: These bolts have threads running the full length of the bolt, from the underside of the head to the tip.
While the majority of bolt-type fasteners used in the United States conform to one or the other measurement scale, the difference between SAE and metric fasteners (and their corresponding sockets) is as profound as the difference between yards and meters: They are almost the same, but not quite.
