What is Allen socket？
May 11, 2023
An Allen socket, also known as a hex socket, is a type of socket designed to fit onto a hexagonal or six-sided recessed cavity on the head of a fastener, such as a screw or a bolt. It is called an Allen socket because it was invented by the Allen Manufacturing Company in the early 20th century.
The Allen socket is commonly used in conjunction with an Allen wrench or hex key, which is a handheld tool with a hexagonal tip that is inserted into the socket to turn the fastener. The tool provides a secure and efficient way to tighten or loosen fasteners in tight spaces where a traditional wrench or pliers may not fit.
Allen sockets and wrenches are available in various sizes to accommodate different fastener sizes and are commonly used in a variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, furniture assembly, and more.
