Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Engineered by Hillman for demanding joints, the M8-1.25 x 70 mm Hex Head Cap Screw delivers dependable strength when you need a reliable, longer-fastening solution. Built from heat-treated steel and graded 8.8, this fastener is designed to hold up under higher torque and tougher loads than standard screws, making it a smart choice for heavy-duty projects.

  • Material and hardening: Heat-treated steel with a Grade 8.8 specification provides enhanced tensile strength, improved wear resistance, and longer service life in challenging assemblies.
  • Thread and fit: Coarse M8-1.25 thread offers quicker alignment and strong bite in softer metals or engineered woods, making installation faster and more forgiving on misaligned holes.
  • Head design: Hex head enables straightforward driving with common wrenches or socket tools, delivering solid torque transfer for secure, lasting joints.
  • Size and compatibility: 70 mm length is ideal for through-hole mounting or joining thicker components, paired with standard nuts or tapped holes designed for metric hardware.
  • Finish and durability: Heat-treated finish enhances hardness and reliability in a boxed, ready-to-use package, ensuring you have a durable fastener for time-sensitive jobs.
  • Packaging: Boxed packaging keeps 40 pieces neatly organized and protected, simplifying reorder workflows and reducing downtime on larger projects.

This screw shines in a variety of real-world applications. Use it for securing heavy brackets to steel frames, mounting equipment on machinery, fortifying metal shelving, or assembling strong, long-reach connections in automotive or industrial projects. It’s particularly effective when you need a high-torque fastener that resists loosening under vibration, yet remains compatible with common metric tooling.

Ideal for: professional builders, metal fabricators, DIY enthusiasts tackling furniture frames, equipment mounting, or any project requiring a robust, long hex-head fastener with reliable performance.

Choosing the right fastener matters—here’s why this Hillman screw stands out:

  • Superior strength with heat-treated steel and Grade 8.8 designation translates to better load-bearing capacity and reduced risk of thread stripping in demanding joints.
  • Long 70 mm length provides versatility for thicker assemblies or through-hole connections where a deeper engagement is beneficial.
  • Coarse M8-1.25 threading balances ease of installation with dependable grip, especially when working with softer base materials or when precise threading isn’t perfectly aligned.

Practical tips for best results

  • Pair with a compatible nut or tapped hole designed for M8-1.25 threads to ensure optimal engagement.
  • Use a washer when mounting soft materials to distribute load and reduce pull-through risk.
  • Avoid over-torquing—start with a conservative torque and increase gradually to achieve a secure fit without stripping the thread.
  • Store in the original boxed packaging to preserve organization and protect from moisture and corrosion.
