A hexagonal or socket head is hexagonally-shaped with a flat underside.
This type of head sits above the surface of the material and is usually found on larger screws, as it allows for more torque to be applied when tightening.
If the hexagonal head has a drive, it can be turned using the correct screwdriver bit.
If the hex head doesn’t have a drive, you will need to use a hex driver to turn it.
