Depend on Hillman No. 12 x 2-1/2 in. Slotted Hex Washer Head Sheet Metal Screws to secure metal, wood, or fiberglass assemblies with reliability. This 100‑pack delivers consistent performance for indoor projects where a flush, strong hold matters—from fabricating light metal enclosures to fastening metal trim to framing members.
What makes these screws stand out
-
Hex Washer Head, Slotted Drive: A broad head that seats neatly and distributes load, paired with a classic slotted drive for compatibility with standard screwdrivers.
-
Coarse Thread with Sharp Point: Designed for rapid bite and solid grip in thin metals, wood, and composite materials; the sharp point helps start holes cleanly.
-
Zinc-Plated Finish: Indoor‑rated corrosion resistance that keeps fasteners performing reliably in everyday environments.
-
Self-Tapping, Not Self-Drilling: Create threads in the material with a pilot hole as needed, delivering strong engagement without specialized tools.
-
Durable Steel Composition: Built to withstand routine use in household and shop projects, delivering dependable fastening over time.
Ideal applications
- Attaching metal panels, brackets, or trim to wood frames or light metal structures.
- Securing fiberglass components in indoor workshop or renovation projects where metal-to-material fastening is required.
- General-purpose hardware for DIY metalworking, cabinetry, shelving, and small metal fabrication tasks.
Practical guidance for best results
- Since these are not self‑drilling screws, plan for appropriate pilot holes to achieve clean thread engagement and reduce the risk of material distortion.
- Match the pilot hole size to the material thickness and hardness to maximize pull‑through resistance and holding power.
- Use a standard flat-head screwdriver or a bit that fits the slotted drive to ensure full torque transfer and minimize cam-out.
- Store in your toolbox or project kit in the original package to keep the 100‑count supply organized for ongoing projects.
