Hex Head Screw Niczuk M8 x 60 mm, 6-point (metric) stainless/steel — M8x60

Hex head screw Niczuk M8 x 60 mm (6-point) is a metric threaded fastener with an M8 nominal diameter and 60 mm overall length. Manufactured from stainless steel, this 6-point hex screw is intended for use with matching M8 nuts or in tapped holes, providing strong clamping for mechanical assemblies, furniture joinery, mounting brackets and general construction fixings. The hexagonal head is driven with a wrench or socket, enabling controlled torque and reliable tightening for repair, installation or DIY tasks.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and long-term durability in indoor and outdoor environments. The 6-point hex head design provides good contact area for sockets and wrenches, reducing cam-out and allowing higher torque compared with slotted or Phillips heads. Standard metric M8 threading ensures compatibility with widely available nuts, washers and tapped components, simplifying replacements and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Mechanical assemblies and machine components
• Furniture construction and fittings
• Mounting brackets, plates and supports
• Repair, renovation and DIY projects
• Connections in metal and wood where M8 fasteners are required

Key specifications

• Thread type: metric coarse thread, M8 nominal diameter
• Length: 60 mm overall
• Head style: hexagonal 6-point head suitable for socket or wrench
• Material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Drive method: external hex (socket or spanner)

How to use

Select a compatible M8 nut or prepare a tapped M8 hole. Align the components to be fastened and insert the screw through the parts. Use an appropriately sized socket or wrench on the 6-point hex head to tighten to the required torque, observing recommended torque values for M8 stainless steel fasteners and the materials being joined. When fastening into wood, consider using a washer under the head to distribute load; when joining metal parts, use matching washers and nuts to ensure secure clamping. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread or component damage.

Usage recommendations

For outdoor or corrosive environments, verify the stainless steel grade and pair the screw with compatible hardware to maintain corrosion resistance. When precise clamping force is required, use a torque wrench and follow manufacturer torque charts for M8 stainless steel fasteners. Store in a dry place to prevent surface contamination prior to installation.
