Combo Phillips/Square Sheet Metal Screws

When you're working with sheet metal, you need specialized screws to get the job done. FMW Fasteners supplies combo Phillips/square sheet metal screws, which are high-quality and extremely versatile. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional, these screws offer the strength and reliability you're looking for. 

What Is a Sheet Metal Screw?

 A sheet metal screw is designed with a sharp tip and threads that effectively cut into sheet metal, which conventional screws aren't capable of penetrating. They can pierce and connect sheet metal to a wide variety of materials including plastic, wood and other metals. 

As fully-threaded screws, they provide excellent retention in wood and are most often used to attach wood and sheet metal. They are also commonly made from stainless steel for durable, corrosion-resistant construction. 

Sheet metal screws fall into two main categories:

  • - Self-tapping: These screws create mating threads as they are driven into a pre-drilled hole.
  • - Self-drilling: These screws have the same threading abilities as a self-tapping screw, but they also have a drill point that can cut through tough material to create their own hole. 

Head type and slot type also play an important role in the capabilities of a sheet metal screw, as they dictate how the screw can be installed. Different head types include pan, flat, oval, hex and truss. Slot types include single slot, cross and square.

Benefits of Phillips/Square Sheet Metal Screws

Combination Phillips/square pancake sheet metal screws offer many benefits. As self-drilling screws, they can be more quickly and easily installed to save you time on your project. Their combination of Phillips and square slot style also means they can be driven in with both a Phillips head bit or a square bit for increased driver options.

The pancake-shaped head offers greater surface area under the material. Once it is fully screwed in, the head will sit partially above the surface. These screws are also passivated and waxed for a highly corrosion-resistant coating. 

What Are Phillips/Square Sheet Metal Screws Used For?

Because of their enhanced versatility and durability, these screws are an exceptional choice for a wide range of sheet metal applications. They are most commonly used for:

  • - Roofing
  • - Gutter repair
  • - HVAC
  • - General construction
