I've had good luck turning things on a lathe from grade 8 Cat bolts. They are extremely tough. Caterpillar pad bolts are the toughest steel I've encountered. Don't know what kind of steel they are exactly but they are tough... I've never understood why the shank on a hammer screw was made so small. There's enough metal in the shaft for a larger screw.
