Hillman Fasteners 42479 Bronze Wood Screws No. 8 X 2 in 50 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42479 is a 50-pack of No. 8 x 2 inch exterior wood screws finished in a bronze-colored 1,000-hour ceramic coat. The ceramic coating provides corrosion resistance suited for outdoor and exposed applications. Each screw features a flat head with nibs that score the surface for a clean, flush installation, a Type 17 point for self-starting penetration, a special cross-cut thread pattern designed to reduce splitting in wood substrates, and a star drive recess. These fasteners are intended for installation by contractors, carpenters, deck builders, and general tradespeople working on exterior wood assemblies.

These screws are designed for exterior wood fastening applications including decking, fencing, trim, framing, and general outdoor construction. The 1,000-hour ceramic coat rating makes them appropriate for use in environments where moisture and weather exposure are ongoing concerns. The No. 8 diameter and 2 inch length suit a wide range of standard dimensional lumber connections. The star drive recess reduces cam-out and is compatible with standard star drive bits available in most trade tool kits.

Key Features

• 1,000-hour ceramic coat corrosion resistance for exterior and weather-exposed applications
• Type 17 self-starting point drills into wood without pre-drilling in most applications
• Special cross-cut thread pattern reduces wood splitting during installation
• Flat head with nibs scores the wood surface for a flush, clean seat
• Star drive recess minimizes cam-out and improves torque transfer
• 50 screws per pack, No. 8 x 2 inches

Compatibility

Designed for exterior wood fastening applications with standard dimensional lumber; compatible with any star drive bit sized for No. 8 screws.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a star drive bit and a power drill or impact driver. For hardwoods or dense composites, pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended to prevent surface cracking. Follow applicable building codes for exterior fastener corrosion-resistance requirements when used in decking or structural applications. Do not substitute a Phillips or square drive bit, as this will damage the recess and reduce holding force.
