A Hex Socket Screw is a type of fastener characterized by a hexagonal recess in its head, allowing it to be driven by a hex key or Allen wrench. This design provides a secure grip and enables higher torque application compared to traditional screws. Hex socket screws are commonly used in various applications, including machinery, furniture assembly, and automotive components. These screws come in various sizes and materials, such as stainless steel and carbon steel, making them versatile for different environments. Their ability to be tightened or loosened easily makes them a popular choice in both industrial and DIY projects, ensuring reliable connections in assemblies.
