    Meanwhile; here, a bolt threaded full length is named "tap bolt". By 'full length', implying not those threaded to the head common in shorter increments.
    I have never heard the name grains before nor tap bolt, but then I have led a sheltered life.
    Except for a spell of 4 days I have never worked in a machine shop or factory environment so I have not been exposed to hearing others name things. Neither were tool names high on my mother's list of things to teach me.
