Hillman Fasteners 40888 Multi-use Screw 75 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40888 is a multi-use wood and construction screw designed for general fastening applications in residential and light commercial work. Built from hardened steel with a gold-yellow dichromate finish, this screw resists corrosion and provides reliable holding strength in wood substrates. The flat bugle head sits flush with or slightly below the surface without tearing drywall or wood fiber. The No. 2 Phillips recess accepts standard power drivers and hand drivers. Coarse threading provides strong pull-out resistance in wood, OSB, and similar materials. Sold in a 75-count pack. Tradespeople, framers, and finish carpenters keep these on hand for everyday fastening tasks.

This screw is suited for attaching drywall, subflooring, sheathing, and general wood-to-wood fastening. The bugle head profile makes it a go-to choice for drywall installation, where controlled seating depth matters. The coarse thread pattern bites quickly into dimensional lumber and engineered wood products. The gold-yellow dichromate finish provides moderate corrosion resistance appropriate for interior and protected exterior applications. Licensed contractors and skilled tradespeople will find this pack useful for small repairs, rough framing details, and finish work alike.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose multi-use screw suitable for drywall, wood framing, subflooring, and sheathing applications where a No. 6 coarse-thread flat bugle head fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Install with a No. 2 Phillips bit using a variable-speed drill or screw gun set to the appropriate clutch depth to avoid overdriving. For drywall applications, drive until the bugle head is just dimpled below the surface without breaking the paper face. Pilot holes are not typically required in softwood but are recommended near board ends to prevent splitting. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and shear requirements when used in structural assemblies.
