Product Tag - Thumb Screws

Socket cap screws have a small cylindrical head with tall vertical sides, and with recessed hex-shaped sockets with which to drive them. Because they are driven with hex keys (Allen wrench) or hex socket bits, they are ideal for applications where limited clearance would not allow the use of wrenches and sockets. In addition, the driving surface is protected from external damage and provides six sides of contact surface for added torque.
