What M Hanna said!!!! Those bolts are not for climbing! You can consult the American Safe Climbing Association(ASCA) website safeclimbing.org to see the bolts they recommend.
Similar size 5-piece bolts (Power-bolts) or quality wedge/stud bolts are more than twice as strong.
The 3/8" size of the ones you linked are only slightly stronger than a little tiny 1/4" buttonhead bolt!

There is your answer... If you're buying climbing bolts at the Depot, clearly your buying crap (jokes aside, they do sell the KWIK III which is a good bolt).
But, NO those bolts are not suitable for climbing. Go return them and get with a local developer for advice on how to bolt. The best way to learn is to branch off in-person experience from others who know what they are doing.
