Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why use a socket (Allen) drive instead of a slotted or Phillips head?

A hex socket drive allows higher torque to be applied safely, which helps generate a stronger clamping force. It also provides better control during installation and reduces the risk of “cam-out.”

How corrosion resistant are these machine screws?

These machine screws offer a high corrosion resistance making them ideal for both internal and external applications.

Will this screw sit flush on the materials surface?

Yes, the countersunk head allows the screw to sit flush or nearly flush when installed in a countersunk hole.
