Grip-Rite Pro-Twist No. 10 x 1-1/4 in. wafer head sheet metal screws are designed for dependable indoor metal assemblies. With a gray zinc-plated finish and a precision steel construction, these screws deliver a clean, professional look while resisting the wear of everyday indoor use in ductwork, enclosures, and thin-gauge metal projects.
The secret to faster, simpler installations is the Pro-Twist self-drilling tip. You can drive directly into metal without pre-drilling, and the screw is self-tapping with a fine thread to pull securely through soft to mid-thickness sheets. The result is a tight, vibration-resistant hold that won’t back out over time.
Why this screw stands out
- Self-Drilling and Self-Tapping: start fast and finish strong in a single motion, reducing prep time.
- Wafer head with Phillips drive: a flush, tidy finish that sits neatly against metal surfaces and panels.
- No. 10 size, 1-1/4 in length: versatile for light to mid-thickness sheet metal applications without protrusion.
- Zinc-plated steel in gray: reliable indoor protection against corrosion in non-exposed environments.
- 1 lb boxed package: efficient packaging for professional use and stocking on large projects.
Best-use scenarios
Perfect for HVAC duct components, metal shelving, appliance installation, electrical panels, and lightweight steel assemblies. The combination of a sharp self-drilling point and a fine thread minimizes resistance and reduces the risk of stripping, even when working in confined spaces or with limited access.
Installation tips
Pair with a standard Phillips screwdriver or driver bit for consistent seating. Let the self-drilling tip establish the pilot, then drive to snug—avoiding over-torque to protect threads. Keep surfaces clean and dry for best bite and a smooth finish in indoor environments.
