Value Collection 09692765 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 09692765 is a No. 8 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light metal and sheet metal applications. Featuring a hex washer head with a hex drive and a No. 2 drill point, this screw bores its own pilot hole and threads simultaneously, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. The Grade 2 steel construction with a zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for general interior and light exterior use. Each screw measures 3/4 inches in length under the head. This package contains 50 screws. Installers in HVAC, electrical, light construction, and metal panel work commonly stock these fasteners for everyday field use.

These self drilling screws are well suited for attaching sheet metal panels, ductwork components, electrical enclosures, metal studs, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that resists pull-through, and the hex drive allows use with a standard 5/16-inch hex bit or nut driver. The No. 2 drill point is rated for light-gauge metal material, making this screw a common choice for residential and light commercial mechanical and electrical work.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point bores pilot hole and drives thread in a single step — no pre-drilling required
• Hex washer head distributes clamping load and resists pull-through in sheet metal
• Hex drive compatible with standard 5/16-inch hex bit or nut driver
• Grade 2 steel with zinc-plated finish for general-purpose corrosion resistance
• 3/4-inch length under head suited for light-gauge metal fastening
• 50-piece pack for convenient jobsite stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose self drilling screw for light-gauge sheet metal fastening in residential and light commercial HVAC, electrical, and metal framing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex-head driver bit or nut driver. Apply steady axial pressure to allow the drill point to engage before full drive speed is reached, preventing screw walking on smooth metal surfaces. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the thread or distort the sheet metal. Use appropriate PPE when working with power fastening tools.
