Hex drive timber screws are specialized fasteners characterized by their hexagonal head design. This design allows for the use of a hex wrench or socket driver, providing a strong grip and excellent torque application when driving the screw into wood or other materials. Typically made from high-carbon steel or stainless steel, hex drive screws are designed to resist stripping and can handle heavy loads, making them particularly suited for timber and structural applications.
