What is a Socket Cap Screw?
A Socket Cap Screw is a type of fastener that is used with an Allen key, these screws will have a hexagonal hole in the head instead of the usually flathead ‘line’ or Philips ‘cross’ which most traditional screws have.
Socket cap screws are usually manufactured using high strength steel, although often they’re made using other types of steel alloys and metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and titanium.
The socket cap screw is praised for being a strong fastener and is used in heavy duty fastening where normal screws could not withstand the pressure.
Non-Standard Socket Screw
Non-standard screws are usually formed from a standard screw, but changes are made such as length, width, and head size.
These changes allow for non-standard screws to be used where a standard screw would not be sufficient.
Non-standard screws can have many benefits such as security, if you were using a non-standard screw a normal Philips screwdriver, Flathead screwdriver or Allen key would not be able to unscrew them.
