Today's Weird Question
I have seen flly threaded studs with a hex head opening in one end so that you can tighten them down with a hex end wrench. Do these have a special name?
Internal set screw - aka grub screw on the island formerly known as Great Britain.
An external set screw would be fastened externally - a slot or hex head; internal set screws have the recess for a hex, torx or tamper-proof torx or other similar wrenching system.
