Hillman Fasteners 40159 No.12x2in Flat Head Phillips Wood Screw 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40159 is a No. 12 x 2 inch flat head Phillips wood screw sold in a 100-piece pack. The flat head profile sits flush with the surface after driving, making it well suited for finish applications and face-mounted hardware. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for interior use. At a No. 12 diameter, these screws deliver solid holding strength in dimensional lumber, plywood, and engineered wood substrates. Electricians, carpenters, general contractors, and maintenance techs keep packs like this on hand for panel backing, blocking, and general wood fastening tasks on the job site or in the shop.

These screws are used in residential and light commercial construction wherever a flush-seating wood fastener is required. Typical applications include securing wood framing members, attaching furring strips, mounting junction box backing boards, and general millwork assembly. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits, which are common on cordless drills and impact drivers across the trade.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips bit in a cordless drill or impact driver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods or near board edges to prevent splitting. Drive screws to flush seating without overdriving, which can strip the head or damage the substrate. No special licensing is required for general wood fastening, though work involving electrical panel backing or structural members should follow applicable local building codes.
