Heavy hex head has a larger bearing surface. For example a 1" heavy bolt 1-5/8" dimension across the flats. A finish hex bolt is 1-1/2". This creates a strong fastener. This is one reason many high strength structural bolts like ASTM A325 and A490 are specified a heavy hex pattern.
The head thickness is identical for both bolts.
These bolts are often found in industrial and steel connection situations. The stronger design is critical.

Hex screwdrivers and Allen keys are designed to fit in Allen head screws,used a lot in machinery.
Yes, you can use a 6-pt also.
A grade 5 hex bolt has 3 radial lines formed into the top of the head. Bolt manufacturers can provide listings of bolt markings and their corresponding strength ratings.
dont know exact size , but it is a metric size
Use a screw extractor or easy out.
There is a tube on the right rear of the bike. right in front of the swing arm. It is a hex head bolt.
Yes, but you run the risk of stripping the head. For high strength, torque, always use a 6-point socket.
A cylindrical length of steel, threaded at on end and having as hex head at the other. Alternatively, a roll of cloth for dressmaking or suchlike.
First, a round bar is cut to the correct length of the bolt. A hex head is then hot forged onto the end of the cut rod. Then, high speed blades are used to cut the correct threading onto the bolt.
