Itw Buildex 560127 Self Drilling Screw 1/4 in 250 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560127 is a 1/4 inch self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Featuring a hex washer head and hex drive, this screw delivers high torque transfer and a broad bearing surface for secure clamping. The 3-point drill tip bites into material quickly, reducing installation time on the job. With a 1 inch length under head and 1/4-14 thread size, it is well suited for light steel framing, metal-to-metal, and general sheet metal applications where a dependable mechanical connection is required. Licensed trade professionals and experienced installers keep these on hand for production-rate fastening work.

This screw is used in commercial and residential construction, HVAC duct fabrication, metal stud framing, and general sheet metal assembly. The hex washer head and hex drive make it compatible with standard hex-drive power tools and impact drivers, supporting high-volume installation. The 250-piece package quantity is appropriate for contractor and production-level work where consistent fastener supply is necessary.
