Hi Mike,

If I read you right, you are saying a photo is not enough to tell how the bolt started its life in service. Someone needs to check the hardness and know how the bolt was used. I wonder if that hardness check is a quick and easy scratch test at a machine shop? I'll post back if Mick has any more info, but I thank you for your term "vibratory life." I thought about those words when using non-impact (chrome plated) sockets instead of the black ones with a rattle gun. Are the black ones softer? Built for vibratory life so they don't shatter?
