Hillman Fasteners 48584 Wood Screws No. 9x3 in Box 12

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48584 is a box of 12 all-purpose wood screws designed for general wood fastening applications. Each screw features a star drive head, which reduces cam-out and allows for better torque transfer compared to slotted or Phillips heads. The fasteners carry a zinc and yellow dichromate finish that provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Sized at No. 9 diameter by 3 inches in length, these screws are well suited for joining dimensional lumber, plywood, and engineered wood panels. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors keep this size on hand for structural and finish work alike.

These screws are used across a wide range of wood-to-wood fastening tasks in residential and light commercial construction. Common applications include framing, decking, subfloor installation, cabinet assembly, and general millwork. The No. 9 by 3-inch size provides adequate thread engagement for fastening through standard dimensional lumber into a backing member. The star drive recess is compatible with T20 or T25 star drive bits, which are standard issue for most trade tool kits.

Key Features

• Star drive head reduces cam-out and improves bit engagement during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an all-purpose wood screw for general residential and light commercial wood fastening applications where a No. 9 by 3-inch star drive fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors using a star drive bit sized to match the screw recess — typically T20 or T25. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods or near board edges to prevent splitting. Follow applicable building codes and fastener schedules when using these screws in structural assemblies. Keep fasteners dry and stored away from prolonged moisture exposure to preserve the dichromate finish.
