HEXPHANT Socket Head Cap Screws M5 x 45mm

When a repair calls for a longer machine screw, choosing the wrong thread style or drive can turn a straightforward assembly into a frustrating one. These HEXPHANT M5 x 45mm socket head cap screws are fully threaded and use an Allen-style hex drive, with a hex key included for tightening. The pack contains 30 bolts, so it can suit a small furniture repair or a project that needs several matching fasteners. One detail to keep in mind: the listing does not provide a strength rating or thread pitch, so these specs alone are not enough to confirm suitability for a highly loaded joint.

Technical details

Each fastener is listed as M5 x 45mm, with a socket head, hex socket drive, and full-thread machine screw design. The stated material is black oxide 304 stainless steel, also identified as 18-8. That material and finish are intended to offer corrosion resistance, which may be useful for indoor or outdoor projects, actual exposure conditions still matter, and the listing does not specify a corrosion test or rating.

The package includes 30 screws and one hex spanner. Full-length threads may be useful when the receiving part needs engagement along the screw’s length, while the socket drive gives you a way to tighten it with the included tool. Unlike a partially threaded fastener, there is no smooth shank section listed. The head also needs enough room for the tool to reach the socket during installation.

Getting the most from it

The description names furniture, cabinets, beds, tables, workbenches, machinery, communication equipment, automotive repairs, and marine assembly as possible uses. Treat those as broad application examples, not confirmation that every joint or environment is suitable. Match the M5 x 45mm size and thread to the parts you are joining, and make sure the receiving component accepts a machine thread.

For example, when tightening a loose furniture bracket, check that the screw passes through the parts and engages the threaded receiving point without bottoming out. A shorter screw or a different fastener style may make more sense if the available depth or head clearance is limited. The included hex key is handy for a basic assembly, but the listing does not state its size or provide a strength specification for load-bearing decisions.

Usage tips

Before starting, compare the listed length and diameter with the fastener you are replacing and confirm that the hex socket is accessible once the parts are in place. Keep the screw aligned as you turn it, if it resists immediately, stop rather than forcing the threads. For outdoor or marine use, consider the actual exposure and the materials being joined instead of assuming the finish makes every application suitable.

A solid pick if your project calls for M5 x 45mm fully threaded socket head screws and you can use the included hex key. You may want to skip it if you need a specified load rating, a listed thread pitch, or a fastener with a different length or head style.

Practical doubts

How many screws are included? The package is listed as 30 screws plus one hex spanner.

Are these fully threaded? Yes. The product description identifies them as fully threaded machine screws.

What material is specified? Black oxide 304 stainless steel, identified as 18-8. No test rating or detailed environmental limit is provided.

Final verdict

This pack is aimed at buyers who already know they need M5 x 45mm socket head screws and want a matching set with an Allen-style drive. The 30-count format and included hex key make it practical for repeat fastenings or a multi-screw repair, while the stated stainless steel material may suit projects where corrosion resistance matters. Choose a different fastener if the joint depends on a verified load rating, an exact thread pitch, or a size not listed here, those details are not supplied, and the broad application examples do not replace checking the fit for your specific assembly.
