J Bolts for concrete don’t have a head on them. The bent part is embedded into the concrete and would never be turned. Forming a hex head would be a wasted extra production cost.
Even with a washer, the head of a straight bolt won’t hold very well in concrete when you go trying to tighten it, it’ll most likely start spinning and possibly even damage the concrete.
ive seen these used sticking out of concrete, the bend acting as the anchor… then the wood is bolted to this.

I could see but it seems like a washer would be a much easier way to do this rather than bending like that

That’s true. I was thinking pull through but you’re right about spinning while tightening.
