    I’m with Tubs on this – The Hillman bolts pictured are grade 2 (no head marks) – Very low quality steel.
    For low torque head bolts like this, I think grade 5 standard automotive (3 marks) is minimal – But grade 8 (6 marks) is better.
    If you have a Tractor Supply store nearby, they have graded bolts of all sizes – Cheap, by the pound
    Just my opinion.
