Why are Allen screws popular, and what is the good thing?

The hexagon #bolt refers to the cylindrical head that is a hexagon shape, which can also be called a hexagon #screw, hexagon cylindrical head screw, and hexagon screw.

Why hexagonal, not four or five?

Many have questions, why is it designed as a hexagon rather than a four-corner, five-cornered, or another shape? The #hexagon screw can be adjusted by 60° to restore the graphic. If the space is relatively small, as long as it can twist the wrench 60 degrees, the screw can be installed, which is the product of the compromise between the twisting angle and the side length.

Advantages of using #allen bolts:

1. Not easy to disassemble. We commonly use #tools like live wrenches, screwdrivers, etc., and we must use special wrenches to remove the Allen bolt. Therefore, it takes work for ordinary people to disassemble. Of course, if you compete, you can design strange structures. The question is, is it reasonable to make a special wrench?

2. Easy installation. Compared with the outer hexagonal screw, the inner hexagon is suitable for more assembly occasions and exceedingly narrow occasions, so it is convenient for assembly and maintenance, and debugging is also #convenient .

3. It can be buried in use. That is, the whole nut is sunk into the inside of the workpiece. It can maintain the flatness and aesthetics of the workpiece surface.

?4. Can withstand larger loads. It has six force surfaces, which is more durable than slotted screws and Phillips screws with only two sides. Maybe you have other opinions, and please comment below this article, and we can discuss it.
