    Our most popular hex head screws. These have a head with six flat sides to keep wrenches and sockets from slipping and rounding off the drive.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Medium-Strength Fastener—Your go-to screws for fastening most machinery and equipment. They have tensile strengths from 90,000 to 120,000 psi.
    High-Strength Fastener—Commonly used to fasten components in valves, pumps, motors, and other high-stress applications. These screws have a tensile strength of 125,000 to 160,000 psi.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With slightly better corrosion resistance than zinc-plated steel screws, these stand up to more frequent exposure to moisture.

    Stainless Steel Button Head Hex-Drive Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rounded Head Screws. Stainless Steel Button Head Hex-Drive Screws.
    These button head screws won't corrode from moisture and chemicals, but they aren't as strong as alloy steel screws. The button head looks similar to a pan head, but it's lower and more compact, taking up less space. With six contact points, the hex drive withstands more torque than slotted and Phillips to securely grip your driver.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws won't rust. However, they don't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    Precision-Adjust Stainless Steel Ball-Tip Set Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Set Screws. Precision-Adjust Stainless Steel Ball-Tip Set Screws.
    These set screws make the finest adjustments of any we sell. With ultra-fine threads, these screws are found on measuring devices and photonic equipment, where minute adjustments and tight tolerances are critical. They also fine-tune sensors on automated equipment and ensure repeatable positioning on jigs and fixtures. Generally used in dry, controlled environments, the alloy steel tip can oxidize in wet or outdoor environments.

    Our strongest hex-drive flat head screws. They're made of alloy steel, so they have nearly twice the tensile strength of other screws. With six contact points, the hex drive withstands more torque than slotted and Phillips to securely grip your driver without slipping and stripping the drive.
    Length is measured from the top of the head.
    Black-Oxide Alloy Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
