12-Point Bolt
A 12-point bolt is a high-strength fastener designed for applications in the transportation industry, including engines, transmissions, and suspensions. 12-point bolts are also used in the heavy equipment industry. They feature a 12-spline design with superior gripping surfaces versus hex head bolts. 12-Point bolts are commonly made with alloy steel.

Advantages
• 12-point bolts have a smaller head diameter than standard hex head bolts which provides easier installation in tight spaces or bored holes
• Constructed from alloy steel, 12-point bolts are used in high-stress and high-load-bearing structures and engines
