    Wrong. ALWAYS use new bolts, and a torque wrench.
    Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night

    My Wife says I can't find something unless it's right in front of me. Sometimes I can't even when it is right in front of me.

    You must see rust on cars? Here I feel safer reusing factory bolts then what I can buy at the hardware store or made in china from the auto parts store. If I could not brush off rust to clean metal with my fingers it would be different.

    I had a hitch moved from one car to another at a pro hitch shop.
    The law stated they had to use new grade 8 bolts, that are available from hardware stores.
