Hillman Fasteners 42483 Bronze Wood Screws No 10 2.5 in 45 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42483 is a 45-pack of No. 10 x 2.5-inch bronze-colored ceramic-coated wood screws engineered for exterior fastening applications. Each screw features a flat head with nibs, a Type 17 self-piercing point, and a special cross-cut thread pattern that reduces splitting and improves pull-through resistance in wood substrates. The star drive recess provides high torque transfer and reduces cam-out during installation. The 1,000-hour ceramic coating delivers corrosion resistance suited to outdoor exposure, making these screws a reliable choice for decking, fencing, trim, and structural wood assemblies installed by carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers.

These screws are intended for exterior wood-to-wood fastening where corrosion resistance and holding strength are required. The flat head with nibs countersinks cleanly into wood surfaces without pre-drilling in most softwood applications. The Type 17 auger point bores through material on contact, reducing the need for pilot holes in standard lumber. The bronze coloration blends with pressure-treated and natural wood tones, making them appropriate for visible exterior finish work including decking boards, railings, and trim installations.

Key Features

• 1,000-hour ceramic coat provides extended corrosion resistance for exterior use
• Type 17 self-piercing point eliminates pilot holes in most softwood applications
• Special cross-cut thread reduces wood splitting and improves pull-through strength
• Flat head with nibs countersinks flush without a separate countersink bit
• Star drive recess minimizes cam-out and supports high-torque driving
• Bronze coloring blends with natural and pressure-treated wood for finished exterior appearances

Compatibility

Designed for exterior wood fastening applications including decking, fencing, and trim work where a No. 10 x 2.5-inch wood screw with corrosion-resistant coating is required.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a star drive bit sized for No. 10 screws. In hardwood or dense composite materials, a pilot hole is recommended to prevent splitting and reduce drive torque. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and embedment depth when used in structural or deck assemblies. Store unused screws in a dry location to preserve the ceramic coating prior to installation.
