Hillman Fasteners 40894 No. 8 X 3 in Bugle Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40894 is a No. 8 x 3-inch multi-use flat bugle head screw designed for general fastening applications across a wide range of construction and trade work. Each screw features a coarse thread profile for strong holding power in wood and similar substrates. The hardened steel construction provides durability under load, and the gold-yellow dichromate finish offers corrosion resistance for use in moderately demanding environments. Drive interface is a No. 2 Phillips recess, compatible with standard power and hand drivers. Sold in a 50-piece pack weighing 3 pounds.

These screws are suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks including drywall, subfloor, decking, and general wood fastening. The flat bugle head countersinks cleanly into soft materials without tearing the surface, making it a common choice for drywall and sheathing installation. The coarse thread pitch pulls material tight quickly, reducing drive time. Licensed contractors, carpenters, and general tradespeople typically keep this fastener on hand for a variety of field and shop applications.
