FAQs

What material are these screws made of?

The R-TECH 337350 Hex Socket Button Screws are made from durable steel with a bright zinc-plated finish.

What size hex key is needed for these screws?

An M6 hex (Allen) key is required for these M6 screws.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

The bright zinc-plated finish offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for protected outdoor environments. For highly exposed or harsh conditions, stainless steel options might be more appropriate.

How many screws are in a pack?

This pack contains 100 screws.

What does M6 x 12mm mean?

M6 refers to the metric thread diameter (6mm), and 12mm refers to the length of the screw from under the head to the tip.

Can I use these screws with power tools?

Yes, but use caution. A power driver with a clutch setting or low torque is recommended to avoid over-tightening and stripping the screw head or threads.

Troubleshooting

Screw won't thread easily

Check that the hole is clean and correctly tapped for an M6 thread. Ensure you are starting the screw straight to avoid cross-threading.

Hex key slips in the socket

Ensure you are using the correct size M6 hex key. The socket may be damaged from previous use or if the screw was over-tightened. Inspect the screw head socket for debris or damage.

Screw head is stripping

Use a high-quality hex key that fits snugly. Apply consistent, steady pressure. If stripping has begun, try to remove the screw with the largest size hex key that still engages, or consider specialized screw extractors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and corrosion-resistant due to steel and zinc plating.
  • Versatile M6 x 12mm size fits many applications.
  • Secure hex socket drive ensures reliable tightening.
  • Low-profile button head provides a clean finish.
  • Bulk pack of 100 offers good value for multiple uses.

Cons

  • May be too many screws for very small, one-off tasks.
  • Requires a specific hex (Allen) key for installation.
  • Not intended for heavy-duty structural loads without proper engineering assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have the correct size hex (Allen) key for the M6 socket.
  2. Align the screw with the pre-drilled or tapped hole.
  3. Thread the screw in by hand initially to avoid cross-threading.
  4. Use the hex key to tighten the screw until snug. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip the threads or damage the material being joined.

Compatibility:

  • Hole Type: Designed for use in pre-tapped M6 holes or in conjunction with M6 nuts.
  • Materials: Suitable for use with wood, plastic, metal, and composite materials.
  • Tools: Requires an M6 hex (Allen) key or compatible driver.

Care:

  • Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the zinc plating.
  • Clean any dust or debris from the screw head and socket before installation.
  • If used in corrosive environments, periodic inspection for signs of corrosion is recommended.
