Product Details

About This Product

Hex cap screws are bolts with hexagonal heads and machine threads for use with a nut or in a tapped hole. These screws are bolts with a washer face under the head. Use these coarse partially threaded screws anywhere a hex bolt may be used. Tighten with a wrench or a drill. Hex cap screws can be used when looking for outdoor applications or a stronger bolt. The name "hex cap screw" and "hex bolt" are commonly interchanged.

Highlights

  • An alternative for using them without nuts is to install them directly into a compatible internally threaded hole
  • A hex cap screw is actually manufactured with tighter tolerances and can be used anywhere a hex bolt is used
  • Coarse Thread
  • Stainless steel

            I have a cap screw that measures m12-1.75x80mm metric 8.8 I need one to two inches longer what would the measurements be please
            ByJun 11, 2022
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hello, So the one you have (80mm) is appx 3.15" inches. An inch constitutes around 25.4mm. So you would be looking at an item in the 4" to 5" inch range. The largest one I see for Hillman items is Item# 36126, Metric 316 Stainless Steel Hex Cap Screw (M12-1.75 x 100mm) which almost gives it one more inch. Hope this helps and thank you for your inquiry!

                  Hello, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please know the quality of our information is very important to us. We will conduct a full quality review and update accordingly. Thank you.
                    Misleading picture
                    The ones I got do not have a shoulder, the threading goes all the way to the head. The picture on the website and even the picture on the box of boots showed a shoulder. I need a shoulder without threading so now I need to return these.

                      I mistakenly expected the screws to be as depicted but the screws I received had threads all the way up to the hex head. I was unable to use them. My mistake? I suppose.

                      I could not find this specific length at any stores near me so I ordered online. It took over a week to be delivered but I was glad to have the part I needed. The product arrived in good condition and fit perfectly
