Hillman Fasteners 48580 Wood Screws No.8 1.75in Zinc Box 12

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48580 is a box of 12 all-purpose wood screws sized No. 8 x 1.75 inches with a zinc and yellow dichromate finish and a star drive head. The zinc and yellow dichromate coating provides corrosion resistance for general interior and exterior fastening applications. The star drive recess reduces cam-out under power driving, making installation faster and more consistent. These screws are stocked in a box quantity of 12 units, suited for trade use in framing, cabinetry, decking, trim, and structural wood assembly.

These all-purpose wood screws are appropriate for residential and light commercial construction and repair work. Carpenters, general contractors, and maintenance technicians commonly use No. 8 screws in this length for attaching dimensional lumber, sheet goods, and wood trim. The 1.75-inch length provides sufficient thread engagement for standard fastening into softwood and hardwood substrates without over-penetration. The star drive head is compatible with standard T20 star drive bits available in most tool inventories.
