Today DG Guyi is very excited to tell you that a special screw — which is really useful to use it in construction and DIY process. "This is a hex screw, which means it has a hexagonal socket in its head. This little hexagonal 'socket' is important because they are designed to be used with a specialized tool called an Allen Wrench, or Hex key. Using this tool, you can easily adjust the screw tight or loose, whenever required. That is why cap screw hex socket heads are very useful in a lot of situations.

That means it can endure for a long time, even if used under harsh conditions. Being even more durable than stainless steel, titanium is also a great choice for heavy-duty work. Also, titanium is very light, an added advantage when low weight is important. Another material that is used for the cap screw hex socket head is aluminum.
