Hillman Fasteners 385710 Flat Head Wood Screw 8x2 Brass 100PK

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 385710 is a flat head, Phillips drive brass wood screw sized No. 8 by 2 inches, sold in a 100-count pack. Brass construction provides natural corrosion resistance, making these screws a reliable choice for interior woodworking, cabinetry, and applications where contact with dissimilar metals or treated lumber could cause steel fasteners to corrode or stain. The flat head countersinks flush with the work surface, producing a clean finished appearance. These are a standard trade-shelf item installed by carpenters, finish installers, and general contractors across residential and light commercial projects.

These screws are suited for wood-to-wood fastening in applications where a flush, countersunk finish is required. Common uses include face-frame assembly, cabinet installation, trim work, and furniture construction. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits. Brass material also makes these appropriate for marine-adjacent or high-humidity interior environments where steel screws would be prone to rust and staining of the surrounding wood surface.

Key Features

• Flat head profile countersinks flush with the work surface for a finished appearance
• Brass construction resists corrosion in humid or chemically active environments
• No. 8 x 2 inch size covers a wide range of standard wood-joining applications
• Phillips drive is compatible with commonly available No. 2 Phillips driver bits
• 100-count pack quantity supports production-volume work without frequent restocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 x 2 inch flat head wood screw compatible with typical wood and wood-composite substrates requiring a countersunk fastener with Phillips drive.

Installation Notes

These screws are installed by carpenters, millworkers, and general trades using a No. 2 Phillips driver bit in a manual or powered screwdriver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods to prevent splitting and reduce cam-out risk. Brass is softer than steel, so avoid excessive torque that can strip the drive recess or shear the shank in dense hardwoods.
