Hillman Fasteners 967786 Ceramic Exterior Screw 2in X8 3000ct

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 967786 is a bucket of 3,000 bronze ceramic exterior screws sized 2 inches by number 8. Each screw features a self-drilling point and a Borefast thread profile, allowing faster seating without pre-drilling in most exterior wood applications. The ceramic coating is rated for 2,000 hours of salt spray resistance, making this fastener appropriate for high-moisture and coastal environments. A knurled shank section below the head reduces wood splitting during installation. These screws are driven with a star-drive bit and are suited for decking, fencing, siding, and general exterior framing work installed by carpenters, contractors, and experienced DIYers.

This bucket quantity is sized for production exterior work where a large screw count reduces downtime from restocking. The 2-inch length and number 8 diameter are commonly used in deck board attachment, fence picket installation, and exterior trim fastening. The bronze ceramic finish and salt spray rating make this fastener well-suited for pressure-treated lumber, coastal decking, and other corrosive exposure conditions where standard zinc-plated screws are insufficient.

Compatibility

Designed for exterior wood fastening applications including decking, fencing, siding, and trim work where corrosion resistance is required. Suitable for use with pressure-treated and standard dimensional lumber.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a star-drive bit matched to the screw head size. Maintain proper spacing from board edges to minimize splitting, and rely on the knurled shank section to do its work rather than over-driving. When fastening pressure-treated lumber, verify that the ceramic bronze coating is rated for the specific preservative treatment used. Follow applicable building code requirements for fastener type and spacing in structural and deck applications.
