Install Bay #8 x 1/2" Phillips Wafer Head Screws (Pack of 500) | Self-Tapping Car Audio & Electronics Fasteners

This bulk pack of 500 #8 x 1/2" wafer head Tek screws is an essential fastener solution for professional and DIY car audio, electronics, and general fabrication installations. Featuring a self-drilling point and a low-profile head, these screws are designed for quick, secure, and clean fastening in sheet metal, plastic, and thin materials without the need for pre-drilling.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Self-Drilling/Tapping Design: The sharp, pointed "Tek" tip allows the screw to drill its own pilot hole and form threads as it drives, saving significant time and effort by eliminating the need for a separate drilling step in most sheet metal and plastic applications.

• Low-Profile Wafer Head: The wide, thin wafer head provides a larger bearing surface than a pan head, distributing force to prevent pull-through in softer materials while maintaining a low overall height to avoid interfering with adjacent components.

• High-Volume Value Pack: The 500-piece bulk box offers exceptional value for workshops, installers, and avid DIYers, ensuring you always have the right fastener on hand for multiple projects or production environments.

• Phillips Drive: The standard Phillips (PH2) drive is compatible with the vast majority of screwdrivers and power drill/driver bits for quick and easy installation.
