These self-drilling fasteners feature a Star drive and Borefast thread geometry engineered to seat quickly in dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and composite decking without pre-drilling. The ceramic bronze coating is tested to 2,000 hours of salt spray resistance, making this screw a practical choice for exterior structural and finish applications where corrosion exposure is a primary concern. A knurled shank section reduces lateral splitting pressure in dry or treated lumber. Licensed contractors, framers, and finish carpenters are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese screws are suited for outdoor decking, fencing, ledger attachment, and general exterior wood-to-wood fastening in both residential and light commercial construction. The 5-pound package quantity provides job-site volume for production framing or deck installation. The self-drilling point eliminates the need for a pilot hole in most standard softwood and hardwood applications, reducing labor time on repetitive fastening tasks. Each box contains one 5-pound unit; the supplier package ships four boxes per case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBronze ceramic coating rated to 2,000 hours of salt spray resistance for long-term exterior durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-drilling point eliminates pilot holes in standard lumber applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStar drive recess provides high torque transfer and reduces cam-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBorefast thread design pulls material tight and seats flush efficiently\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnurled shank section reduces wood splitting pressure near board edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCovered by a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for exterior wood-to-wood fastening applications including decking, fencing, and structural framing with dimensional lumber, treated lumber, and similar substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a power drill or impact driver fitted with a Star bit matched to the drive size. When fastening near board ends or edges in dense hardwood, a pilot hole is recommended to prevent splitting even with the knurled shank feature. Always verify that fastener material compatibility meets local building code requirements for use with pressure-treated lumber containing preservative compounds. Follow applicable IRC or IBC fastener schedule requirements for structural connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches x 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSalt Spray Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2,000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Borefast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Self Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds per box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Pack Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lifetime\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: 48608\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HILLMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558864781618,"sku":"48608","price":210.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/16c266659fd9459bde5b91ab771a149a_2c5b6e2e-4c9d-4517-a99f-3c2772838bfc.jpg?v=1786421176","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hillman-fasteners-48608-bronze-ceramic-exterior-screws-5-lb","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
