Hillman Fasteners 42508 Star Head Trim Screw 35 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42508 is a stainless steel star head trim screw designed for secure, corrosion-resistant fastening in interior and exterior trim applications. Each screw measures size 8 by 2.5 inches and features a star drive recess that reduces cam-out during installation. Stainless steel construction provides long-term durability in moisture-prone environments. This listing is for a 35-count pack, suitable for small-to-medium trim jobs. The package is designated as an XL pack format. These screws are typically installed by carpenters, finish tradespeople, and experienced DIYers working on trim, molding, and light structural facing.

The 42508 trim screw is well-suited for residential and light commercial applications including door and window casing, baseboard, crown molding, and exterior trim boards. The stainless steel material makes it appropriate for areas with elevated humidity or direct weather exposure such as covered porches, bathrooms, and exterior siding trim. The star drive head requires a compatible star bit driver, which provides positive engagement and reduces slippage on finish surfaces where marring must be avoided.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or finish tradespeople using a star-bit driver matched to the screw head size. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwood trim to prevent splitting. Work on trim surfaces carefully to avoid surface marring around the fastener head. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener material requirements in exterior or high-moisture applications.
