The reason why Hexagon Bolts Manufacturer's bolts and nuts are hexagonal

they turn easily
The bolts and nuts are designed to be hexagonal because it is easy to turn. With six faces, you only need to turn the fastener one-sixth to reach the next parallel plane. There are six flat parallel lines on hex bolts and nuts. When tightening the hex bolt or nut, it must be turned over these parallel lines. Hex fasteners are easier to turn than other types of fasteners because they have six parallel lines.

To better understand how the hex shape increases the ease of turning of bolts and nuts, consider the following example: A square fastener has four sides. In order to tighten a square bolt or nut, you have to turn it a quarter at a time to get to the next parallel plane. Hex fasteners, on the other hand, only need to be turned one-sixth at a time to reach the next parallel. In other words, you have to rotate a square fastener 90 degrees to "snap" it into a plane parallel, while a hex fastener only needs to be rotated 30 degrees to get to the next plane parallel.

If a bolt or nut has more than six faces, it may break or break. Therefore, the hexagon has become the most dominant shape for the manufacture of bolts and nuts.

generally accepted
While the main reason why bolts and nuts are hex is because it is easy to turn, hex has also become a generally accepted standard. Hexagon fasteners are used by consumers and businesses around the world. If fasteners have many different shapes, they will not be compatible with each other. This has prompted many manufacturers to focus exclusively on making hex bolts and nuts.
