Hex Bolts

Hex bolts have a threaded shaft with a six-sided head, hence the name "hex" bolts. The head is typically larger in diameter compared to the shaft to provide a gripping surface for tools like wrenches or sockets.

Hex bolts are typically installed using a wrench, socket, or spanner. The head of the bolt is gripped with the appropriate tool while the threaded shaft is turned clockwise to tighten the bolt.

Hex bolts are used in a wide range of applications where strong and reliable fastening is required. They are commonly found in construction projects, machinery assembly, automotive manufacturing, furniture assembly, and many other industries.
