Hex socket head wood screws are a type of screw that features a hexagonal socket drive head. This design allows the screw to be driven by an Allen wrench, commonly known as a hex key. The head is often broader than that of traditional screws, providing a larger surface area that distributes pressure evenly when tightened and prevents the screw from being pulled into the wood. The threads on a hex socket head wood screw are specifically designed for optimal grip in wooden materials, ensuring a secure fit.
