Hillman 48178 #8 x 1-1/2" Truss Head Needle Point Screw – 100PK

The Hillman #8 x 1-1/2″ Truss Head Needle Point Screw, packaged in quantities of 100, is designed for secure fastening in various applications, including wood and sheet metal. The #8 size denotes the diameter of the screw, while the 1-1/2″ length is suitable for thicker materials or when a longer fastener is needed. These screws feature a truss head design, which provides a larger bearing surface and distributes clamping force over a wider area. This helps to prevent over-driving and provides a neat finish when installed. The needle point allows for quick penetration without the need for pre-drilling in most materials, enhancing efficiency during installation. Typically made from zinc-plated steel, these screws offer good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor use. They are commonly used in construction, carpentry, and general fastening applications where strength, durability, and ease of installation are important considerations. The Hillman 48178 screws provide reliable performance and are suitable for a variety of DIY and professional projects.
