Hillman Fasteners 42182 No. 10 X 2.5 in Wood Screw 40 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42182 is a No. 10 x 2.5 inch flat head wood screw sold in a 40-count pack with a yellow zinc finish. Designed under the Procrafter line, this screw features countersinking nibs beneath the flat head that allow it to seat clean and flush without requiring pre-drilling in most wood applications. The yellow zinc coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior woodworking environments. The thread geometry is engineered to reduce wood splitting, making it appropriate for finish-sensitive work. Licensed contractors, cabinetmakers, and experienced woodworkers install this fastener where a clean surface result is required without additional prep steps.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial woodworking applications including cabinet assembly, furniture construction, and finish carpentry. The No. 10 diameter and 2.5 inch length handle mid-thickness stock connections. The flat head profile with countersinking nibs is particularly useful where a flush or recessed finish is specified. No pilot hole is required in most softwood and composite applications, reducing installation time on production or repetitive tasks.

Installation Notes

Install with an appropriate No. 2 Phillips or square-drive bit at controlled torque to avoid overdriving the flat head. Power down or unplug any powered jigs or fixtures before changing bit tips. In hardwoods or dense composites, a pilot hole may still be recommended to prevent surface cracking near edges. Drive to flush or slightly below the surface as required by the finish specification.
