Evco evco-8x1/2tp-100 Hex Taper Point Screws 100ct

Product Description

The EVCO evco-8x1/2tp-100 is a 100-count pack of No. 8 x 0.5-inch hex taper point screws designed for trade and light-industrial fastening applications. Hex-drive taper point screws deliver reliable thread engagement in sheet metal, light steel, and related substrates common in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical enclosure work. The taper point tip self-starts without a pilot hole in thin-gauge material, reducing installation time on production or service work. At 100 pieces per pack, this count suits both bench stock and field service kits.

These screws are used in residential and commercial trade applications where a secure, vibration-resistant sheet metal fastener is required. Common install scenarios include securing HVAC duct panels, electrical enclosure covers, and equipment access panels. The hex drive head is compatible with standard power drivers and nut drivers, making them a practical choice for HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers.
