Hillman Fasteners 42469 Wood Screws 8x1.75 in Star Drive 75pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42469 is a 75-pack of Number 8 by 1.75-inch yellow zinc all purpose wood screws designed for interior fastening applications. Each screw features a flat head with nibs that countersink cleanly into wood surfaces, a Type 17 point for easy penetration without predrilling in most softwoods, and a star drive recess that reduces cam-out during installation. The yellow zinc finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior use. These are a practical, workhorse fastener for general wood-to-wood and wood-to-substrate connections.

These screws are intended for interior wood applications including framing, decking substructure, cabinetry, trim, and general construction assembly where a reliable all-purpose wood screw is needed. The special cross cut thread design improves grip in dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and sheet goods. Sold in a 75-count pack, they are well suited for contractors, carpenters, and maintenance trades who need a consistent, ready-to-drive fastener on the job.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a star drive bit using a power drill or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving. For hardwood applications, a pilot hole is recommended to prevent splitting. These screws are rated for interior use only and should not be substituted for exterior or treated-lumber rated fasteners where moisture exposure is a factor.
