Description
Description
This bulk pack of 500 #8 x 1/2" Phillips truss head screws is a versatile and heavy-duty fastener solution for sheet metal, automotive, and general construction applications. Featuring a wide, low-profile head with a deep Phillips drive, these screws are engineered to provide superior clamping force and resistance to pull-through in thin materials.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
High-Clamp Truss Head Design:Â The wide, slightly domed truss head offers a larger bearing surface than round or pan heads, distributing force over a broader area. This significantly reduces the risk of the screw head pulling through or damaging softer materials like plastic, vinyl, or thin-gauge sheet metal.
-
Vibration Resistance:Â The combination of the broad head and secure Phillips drive helps maintain tightness in high-vibration environments, making them ideal for automotive panels, machinery guards, and electrical enclosures.
-
Sheet Metal & Self-Tapping Application:Â The sharp point and coarse threads are designed to cut into and form secure threads in sheet metal, plastic, and wood without the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in most cases, speeding up installation.
-
High-Volume Value:Â The 500-piece bulk box provides exceptional value for workshops, production lines, and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) inventories, ensuring you never run short of this essential fastener size.
-
Standard Phillips Drive:Â Compatible with ubiquitous Phillips #2 screwdrivers and power drill/driver bits for universal tool compatibility.

I have made multiple purchases from this company, and their service consistently exceeds my expectations. Last week, I urgently needed some parts and, based on my previous positive experiences, I chose TINKR once again. As expected, their service was exceptional. A special thanks to Greg at TINKR for a job well done.
