Fixings?

More seriously, what machine tools do you have? Can you do precision work?

Try looking through industrial suppliers' catalogues.

It depends on your equipment and demand in your area.

Security gates and barriers are very popular in my area.

With buyers - they feel protected.

Insurers - I think they get commission for forcing you to have it.

Manufacturers - It is big easy money.

Mines - they can do full production.

Banks - They can lend out money.

Trade - Lots of profit.

Thieves - It do not stop them.

A win win situation.

You didn't say what diameter the bars are, so my answer would be "anything you want."

With the right lathe and or machining center you can make anything.

<industrial supplies>

Bolts/Studs/PINS/Forged-ended Auto parts/Crank pins/GudgeonPins-from Rounds

Nuts from Sq/Hex

This assuming you have ready Rolling Mill/Forging/NUt Tapping--and you are talking of bars Dia 5>20mm.-in say 100Ton/month output.

If different, you need serious thinking/Planning including feel of Economy/Technology

I am trying really hard not to be a smart-ass here. I must say out front it is proving VERY difficult.

As mentioned above, anything. Depending wholly upon what equipment is available to you. Given the means, anything from lag bolts to precision gage pins and countless more.

You are asking a question that is similar to: "What can I make with water, sugar, flour and eggs?"

Cut them up in short lengths and distribute them as samples!

A note can be attached "This sample may be part of what you need - contact me for a quote."

Hex steel bars, 1/4 inch (0.25 inch=6.35mm) across flats can make many screwdriver 1.0inch long screwdriver bits (Phillips, Flat, Hex, Torx, Square, etc.).

Go ahead. Try to compete against the Chinese!

If you want to make a fortune, forget making screwdrivers, nuts, bolts etc.

Call yourself an Artist, get stuck in with the gas axe and electric welder grinder and paint.

Make some odd-looking shapes, say they are surreal objects.

Pablo Picasso did that sort of thing, with paint and canvas.

At the end of his life, one of the last things he said was: "I've had the last laugh on the Art World".

So there you are, get yourself organised, a good Manager to promote your Brand, and start making "Modern Art", and the resultant fortune....

Alas, his list did not include, talent, emotional intelligence, a well developed aesthetic sense, discipline, and vision. Just steel bars. C rummel 3's avatars could weld all day and not make a picasso.

sorry C rummel3

How about a thousand monkeys? (After completing their Shakespeare typewritten manuscripts of course)

You really have to be more specific. Unless those bars are either very small or very large, you could literally make an infinite number of parts of a variety of shapes, sizes and uses if you have a lathe, mill and bandsaw.
