Description
When you’re fabricating repairs or building custom brackets for your equipment, having the right fasteners on hand can save you a trip to town. This 5/16 inch USS hex socket set screw is one of those handy little parts that seems to show up everywhere on farm machinery—from adjusting stops and collars to securing bushings and bearings in place.
What You’re Getting
- Standard 5/16-18 USS threads that fit common tapped holes on equipment
- 3/8 inch overall length gives you just enough engagement without excess bulk
- Hex socket head accepts a standard Allen wrench for easy installation
- Heat-treated steel construction stands up to vibration and stress
- Cup point design grips securely without damaging softer materials
Built for Real Farm Work
You’ll find set screws like this holding things in place all over your equipment—on toolbar clamps, implement shanks, drive components, and fabricated brackets. They’re perfect for situations where you need a low-profile fastener that won’t catch on things but still provides solid holding power. The USS thread pitch is standard on most American-made agricultural equipment.
Made to Last
This isn’t some hardware store special that’ll strip out after a season. The steel is properly heat treated to handle the constant vibration and shock loads that farm equipment dishes out. The hex socket won’t round out from repeated adjustments, and the threads stay sharp even after multiple installations.
Good to Know
Keep a few of these in your shop toolbox—they have a way of walking off when you need them most. A 5/32 inch Allen wrench is what you’ll need for installation. If you’re threading into aluminum or softer metals, go easy on the torque to avoid stripping the parent material.
