disagree  Reino Havbrandt (X): Jo, bergklättrarna kanske kallar det så. Till skillnad från bultar de bankar in i sprickorna :-)

expanderbult


Explanation:
var min första tanke, och jag studsade lite på Svens borrbult. I Stahres industrilexikon översätts expansion bolt >> expanderande bbult, expansionsbult. MEn jag kan nog intyga, att bland montörerna på fältet kallas de expanderbult, och jag anser det dessutom vara en korrekt teknisk term. Efter att ha skrivit detta, kollar jag på Google:
expanderbult 300+
expanderande bult 0
expansionsbult 18

Explanation:
Ett element med utvändig gänga kallas skruv, inte bult (precis som i Tyskland, Norge och Finland men i motsats till Danmark, England och Holland)
