Metric Socket Set Flat Point, Din 913, Stainless steel

These stainless steel socket set screws with flat point are made out of A2 (304) stainless steel manufactured to Din 913 with a metric coarse thread.  A hex key, sometimes referred to as an allen wrench or allen key, or a hex driver is required to tighten or loosen a socket screw.  A socket set screw is generally used to secure an object within or against another object.  A common  example of this would be to secure a pulley or gear to a shaft.  The flat point of the screw means that the screw can press perfectly flat against a surface.
