Thread Rolling Screws Phillips Flat Head Steel Zinc & Waxed Tri-Lobe (Model 48-2) - #8-16 x 5/8 Upgrade your fastening projects with a robust, forming screw designed to deliver dependable performance in both metal and plastic assemblies. This Plastite Screws Alternative features a Phillips flat head for easy driving, a Tri-Lobe drive to reduce cam-out, and a waxed Tri-Lobe coating that eases installation and protects against wear.
Engineered for strength and durability, these thread rolling (forming) screws create their own threads as you drive, delivering higher torque and superior pull-out resistance compared to traditional screws. The steel core with zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, while the waxed coating reduces friction for smoother, faster driving and fewer stripped screws.
