Small Parts 1424KPU Steel Self-Drilling Screw, Zinc Plated Finish, Undercut 82 Degree Flat Head, Phillips Drive, #3 Drill Point, 1/4"-14 Thread Size, 1-1/2" Length (Pack of 25)

The steel self-drilling screw with zinc plating has an undercut 82-degree flat head and a Phillips drive. Steel is often used in applications where strength is the primary consideration. The zinc plating offers corrosion resistance and has a reflective appearance. The flat undercut head has a flat top with an 82-degree cone-shaped bearing surface and is undercut to a lower head height for use in shallow countersunk holes. The Phillips drive has an x-shaped slot that accepts a Phillips driver and is designed to allow the driver to slip out of the head to help prevent over-tightening and damage to the thread or fastener.Self-drilling screws, a type of self-tapping screw, are threaded fasteners that drill their own hole and thread it as they are installed. Usually only recommended for use with metal, self-drilling screws are available with wings that enable use when fastening wood to metal. The drill point length should be long enough to penetrate both materials being fastened before the threading portion reaches the material.
