What is a hexagon socket wrench and its characteristics?

The hexagonal socket wrench refers to the working end with hexagonal or twelve-sided holes at both ends, which is suitable for occasions where the working space is narrow and ordinary wrenches cannot be used.

According to their different structures, they can be divided into socket wrenches, dual-purpose wrenches, hook wrenches, Allen wrenches, and torque socket wrenches.

The hexagon socket wrench has the following features:
Tools are simple, small and light. The six contact surfaces between the screw and the tool are not easily damaged during use.

Tools can be manufactured very cheaply, often including products that require assembly by the end user.

Either end of the tool can be used to take advantage of reach or torque.

This tool can be used for stop screws.

Torque is limited by the limited length and thickness.

Tools at both ends can be used to utilize reach or torque.

Many manufacturers already use hex socket-related screws to assemble bicycles and ready-to-assemble furniture.
