Low head socket cap screws have a hex socket (Allen) drive. The screws are tightened with a hex key or allen wrench. Commonly found in machine assembly where you do not have enough space to tighten with a wrench or socket. The low head is designed where there is not enough room for a normal socket head cap screw. Black oxide is the most popular finish, but low head socket cap screws also come in zinc and stainless steel.
