The most sensible solution
They're chainring bolts...what's the big deal? The big deal is that most chainring bolts that sell for less than $20 a set have to be secured from the rear with a fiddly wrench made of bent sheet metal. Even if you can remember where you put it the last time you used it, that wrench is still difficult to use. The rear portion of the bolt is supposed to self lock in the chainring through friction fit, but there's always one or two that don't, especially if you lightly greased the recess when installing them -- and you should (minimizes creaking).
This Truvativ set uses hex key fittings both front and rear, just like the more expensive bolts do, and tightening them up is a breeze (recheck their tightness monthly during peak riding season). They also come with their threads pre-charged with thread-locking compound, so if you don't have blue Loctite or Permatex in your toolkit, you won't need to buy any. Run a greased Q-tip under the lip and they're ready to drop in. There's no reason to drop a lot of coin on chainring bolts and no one offers a better deal on these than BTD.

Product seems like it will do the job at a reasonable price, but I only received 4 of 5 bolts.

Sizes given are tool sizes...
Good to have in your selection of spares. Haven't needed mine yet- I use a dab of RTV silicone (any dollar store has it) on all threaded fasteners on my bikes. Haven't lost a boltscrew yet!

Good value bolts
Matched perfectly my FSA chain rings. I chose steel because I think it is stronger than aluminum - difference in weight is minimal

They're bolts!
I bought the Truvative bolts after one came loose and fell out of my crankset during a cyclocross race. I rate these 3-stars because I can't get too emotional about hardware and BTD sells them at a reasonable price.
Nevertheless, it's wise to keep a pack of these in your spares bin. I've never lost a chainring bolt before the aforementioned mishap, but stupid stuff happens, so you can never have too much hardware in your spares bins. Also, I recommend fixing chainring bolts with Loctite, and checking regularly if you're riding surfaces that deliver a beatdown to your bike.
