Hillman Fasteners 42501 Star Head Trim Screw 75 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42501 is a Star Head trim screw designed for clean, professional fastening in finish carpentry and trim work. Sized at 8 x 1-5/8 inches, these screws feature a star drive head that reduces cam-out and delivers consistent torque transfer during installation. Each package contains 75 screws, making it a practical stock-up quantity for ongoing trim jobs. The star drive design suits electricians, finish carpenters, and general contractors who need reliable, low-profile fasteners for interior trim, casing, and base molding applications.

These trim screws are suited for residential and light commercial finish work, including the installation of door casings, window trim, base molding, and crown molding. The 1-5/8 inch length provides solid holding power in typical trim stock without overdriving or breaking through the substrate. Professionals carrying these screws benefit from reduced bit slippage compared to standard Phillips-head trim fasteners.

Installation Notes

A licensed finish carpenter or general contractor typically installs trim screws using a power driver fitted with a compatible star bit. Pre-drilling pilot holes in hardwood trim is recommended to prevent splitting. Always verify screw length is appropriate for the substrate depth to avoid breakthrough. Follow applicable local building codes for interior finish work.
