It is designed for general interior fastening applications in wood and engineered wood products. The screw features a 6-point star drive system that eliminates cam-out during installation, serrated threads that reduce drive torque, and a knurled shank section that helps prevent wood splitting. Four sharp countersinking blades allow the head to seat flush without pre-drilling a countersink. This fastener is used by carpenters, framers, finish crews, and general contractors working on interior residential and light commercial construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for interior wood-to-wood fastening, subfloor work, wall framing, decking headers, cabinet installation, and general wood assembly where a coarse-thread fastener provides strong holding power. The sharp point allows for easy starting without pre-drilling in most softwood and engineered wood applications. The 5-pound bulk pack quantity makes it practical for high-volume production work and job-site use where consistent fastener supply matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point star drive system eliminates cam-out for consistent, controlled driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSerrated threads reduce drive torque, easing installation in dense or engineered materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour sharp countersinking blades seat the head flush without a separate countersink step\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoarse thread profile maximizes holding power in softwood and engineered lumber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnurled shank section reduces the risk of wood splitting near the fastening point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSharp point starts cleanly without pre-drilling in most interior wood applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose interior wood fastener suited for softwood framing lumber, plywood, OSB, MDF, and other engineered wood substrates in interior applications.

Always match bit size to the 6-point star drive recess to avoid stripping. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods or near board edges to further reduce splitting risk. This fastener is intended for interior use only and should not be used in exterior, high-moisture, or pressure-treated lumber environments where corrosion resistance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-Point Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sharp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lifetime Guaranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HILLMAN FASTENERS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48588\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HILLMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561573810482,"sku":"48588","price":144.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aa7b07c6207c87f5c8fe62df1a25fff3_8106c69a-917c-4fac-a67e-49e8702a09cf.jpg?v=1786465837","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hillman-fasteners-48588-star-drive-wood-screw-1-75in-no-8-5lb","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
