Shook Manufacturing 11268 Drill Tip Screw 10x3/4 in 500PK

Product Description

The SHOOK MANUFACTURING 11268 is a size 10 x 3/4 inch self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in sheet metal and light steel applications. Built from steel with a zinc-plated finish, it resists corrosion in typical service environments. The indented hex washer head accepts a 5/16 inch drive and distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface. Each package contains 500 screws, making it a practical choice for production work, HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosures, and general trade use where speed and volume matter.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a drill-point fastener eliminates the need for a pilot hole. Common install scenarios include attaching sheet metal duct sections, securing electrical panel components, fastening light-gauge steel framing, and other repetitive fastening tasks on metal substrates. The 500-count pack is sized for job-site use by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers handling high-volume installations.

Key Features

• Self-drilling drill tip eliminates the need for pre-drilled pilot holes in light-gauge metal
• Indented hex washer head with 5/16 inch drive fits standard hex-drive bits and nut drivers
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor service conditions
• Size 10 x 3/4 inch geometry suits thin sheet metal and light-gauge steel fastening
• 500-count pack reduces restocking interruptions during high-volume work
• Not self-tapping — drill tip performs the thread-forming function on entry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assembly, including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and metal panel fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hex-drive bit or nut driver sized to 5/16 inch. A variable-speed drill or screw gun with adjustable clutch is recommended to prevent overdriving on thin sheet metal. Always confirm substrate gauge is within the rated range for the drill-tip point before driving. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC requirements when fastening near electrical or gas system components.
