Capscrews

Cap screws with a hexagonal head are designed to be driven by a wrench (spanner). An ASME B18.2.1 compliant hex cap screw has somewhat tighter tolerances than a hex bolt for the head height and the shank length. The nature of the tolerance difference allows an ASME B18.2.1 hex cap screw to always fit where a hex bolt is installed but a hex bolt could be slightly too large to be used where a hex cap screw is designed in. The bearing surface of a hex cap screw is flat and washer faced.
