What is a Screw?

A screw and a bolt are identical types of fasteners generally made of metal, and described by a helical ridge, also known as a male thread (external thread). Screws and bolts are used to fasten materials by the engagement of the screw thread with a identical female thread (internal thread) in the matching part.

Screws are usually self-threading also known as self tapping where the thread cuts into the material when the screw is turned, creating an internal thread that helps pull fastened materials together and prevent pull out. There are many screws for a variety of materials those commonly fastened by screws including wood, sheet metal, and plastic.

What is a Socket Screw?

Socket Screws Socket screws are a kind of screw designed and manufactured using an internal hexagonal (hexagonal) drive built into the head. As such, they are designed to be tightened and loosened with an Allen wrench or hex key, as opposed to a standard screwdriver. This is the key feature which sets a socket screw apart from other screw head drive styles like the Phillips head screw, slotted, flathead screws, and Pozidriv screws to name just a few. Another common distinction is that socket screws are usually squared off at the tip. These are normally referred to as flat point socket screws and they tend to be the most widely used kind found in many common applications. Although, it is worth noting that several other designs are also available. In most other regards, there is not generally much physical difference between socket screws and standard screws for the majority of everyday uses. So what exactly is the point of a socket screw, and when should you use it? Basically, so

What is a Hex Bolt? A Hexagon Bolt, commonly known as Hex Bolts , are threaded fasteners with a hexagonal head shape. This type of bolt is made to be installed using a spanner. Hexagon Bolts are preferred for their robust shape, which makes them suitable for more heavy duty fastening applications. Hexagon bolts are also usually available in larger sizes than alternative fasteners. Hex bolts are six sided heads that are the industry standard for fasteners with forged heads. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A307 grade A bolts, all SAE hex bolts, and various other common specifications require a standard (finished) hex head. For specifications such like as A307 grade B, A325 and A490 that require a heavy hex pattern, points to dimensional tolerances for heavy hex bolts or structural bolts. Hex Bolts Hex Bolts are known as • Hex head bolts  • Cap screws  • Hex cap screws  • Hex head cap screws  • Machine bolts  • Hex machine bolts  • Hex head machine bolts  •
