A head bolt and associated socket includes a head portion associated with the bolt configured for enhanced grasping thereof by a complementary tool member. A first and second multifaceted stepped torque application head surface of the head bolt are utilized for the spreading of torque loads to the head surfaces of the bolt minimizing distortion by or deformation of the head surfaces during torquing. A modified aspect of the invention includes an adhesive sealing fluid contained within the head bolt selectively utilized and directed by the socket.
