They are used instead of a hex bolt when there is less clearance available.Hex Socket Countersunk – used when you need a screw to fit flush or below the surface of your material.Hex Socket Shoulder – often used as a pivot point or axis because shoulders are ground to a tight tolerance.

The cylindrical heads of socket screws require less space than hex heads and require no additional wrench space.
