Hexagon Socket Screw Keys with Pilot

Product Details

A Hexagon Socket Screw Key with Pilot, often referred to in the industry as a shoulder hex key or piloted Allen key, is a significant upgrade from standard hex keys. It features a standard hexagon socket drive at one end and a precisely machined pilot point at the other.

This innovative design is not just a minor improvement; it's a game-changer for assembly and maintenance tasks. The pilot point acts as a guide, ensuring perfect alignment before the socket drive engages the screw head. This eliminates cam-out, reduces the risk of stripping the screw socket, and dramatically speeds up the fastening process, especially in high-volume production environments.
