Fastening and Joining

Hex Head Screws

Hex Head Screws

Used with nuts to create a stronger joint than flat and rounded screws

Socket Head Screws

Socket Head Screws

With a deeper drive than flat and rounded head screws, these withstand more torque for a tighter hold

Flat Head Screws

Flat Head Screws

Fit in countersunk holes for a flush finish that won't snag on surrounding parts

Carriage Bolts

A smooth head provides a finished look while a square neck keeps the bolt in place when using a nut

12-Point Screws

12-Point Screws

12 contact points handle more torque than a hex head while a flange eliminates the need for a washer

Set Screws

Exert pressure at the tip to hold parts in place, unlike screws that hold material together with threads

Tighten and loosen by hand without the need for tools

Shoulder Screws

Shoulder Screws

Rotate parts around the cylinder under the head to guide and align them during installation

Hold-Down Bolts

Hold-Down Bolts

Hold material under the bent head while the other end is tightened down with a nut

T-Bolts

Turn by hand for easy fastening, use as a handle, or attach as a point for straps and clamps

Plow Bolts

The head sits flush with countersunk holes while the bolt stays in place when tightening a nut
