12-point bi-hex bolts are specialized fasteners with a unique head design. They feature a hexagonal head with 12 points, offering a greater number of contact points compared to traditional hex bolts, which have six points. The 12-point head design of these bolts allows for a higher torque capacity and improved grip during installation or removal. The additional points distribute the torque load across a larger surface area, reducing the risk of rounding or stripping the bolt head.
