How do I distinguish between grade 2, 5, and 8 bolts? I purchased 3 differents types of bolts from Home Depot and I'm not sure what they would be classified as: 1/4"x6" (BBB), 1/4"x5.5" (AXC), and 1/4"x5" (AWD).

I belive that BBB is a grade all in its self but is just like a G2 and the others are probably G2 as well.G5 bolts will have three lines or tick marks.And G8 have 6 ticks.I hope it helps I will look for a pic.

Well Brendan knows bolts as good as anyone so I'd trust him.

I didn't know that BBB was a grade by itself I could have sworn it was just another brand of G2 but I could be wrong. Anyone positive on this?

The others you have are all G2 brands.

Grade 2's generally have 3 diagonal lines that run parallel on the head.

Grade 5's have 3 lines that are notched in perpendicular to the outside perimeter of the head.

Grade 8's have 6 lines that are notched in perpendicular to the outside perimeter of the head.

Here is a good chart that shows many bolts and what they are.The Grade BBB is not a grade it is Grade BB that I was thinking of.The BBB bolt is most likely G2.G2bolt are described as having no markings and sometimes bearing the mark of the manufacturer.

They must have given you the special batch of bolts. I was able to DU a blue to 40 deg in about 20 sec (with difficulty) yesterday, but I was able to completely bend a 1/4"x6" yesterday in less time:
