These were used to reinforce a pool cover reel that was sagging badly. They went in smoothly and securely. Three screws were used in each joint in the original design. For each joint, I used six of these screws. I was able to avoid spending $150 on a new reel by using these. br>br>The only drawback was that I received a sealed bag rather than a box, but I'll be able to find a box to store the remaining items in until I need them.
The screws are fine and appear to be of good quality, but the size of the hex head, which is 1/4 inch, was not mentioned in the description, and I was looking for 5/16 inch.
There have been no issues so far. I had a clamshell trailer for my snowmobile. The bottom-of-the-frame aluminum flashing was separating from the frame. It was challenging to close the trailer properly. Screws were rusting and slipping through the cracks. These fit in like a glove. There's no issue. I was blown away by it. They should be able to withstand the test of time.
The. These were used to secure sagging shield plastic sheets beneath my trailer. The manufacturers used too few fasteners, causing them to sag and drag. To support the plastic, these fasteners went through the plastic and into the 1/8 steel truss welded to the frame. They were simple to install, durable, and only required a cordless drill and a little elbow grease.
It's no problem to go from sheet metal to a quarter-inch mild plate. So far, I haven't managed to break one. Brake lines were run on my 64 C10 with the help of brake line clamps. Clamps were mounted to the frame directly.
Worked well and were a good value; I only needed six, but the rest will be put to good use. The price is the same as in retail stores for small packs of 20. Because the head size is the same as the bit chuck, there is no need to change chucks; simply remove the bit.
The quality of these screws is exceptional. Using j-to-join j-to-join j-to- To an all-metal frame building, channel and vertical vinyl siding were added. The drill end drills easily, and I have yet to break one off when the drill accidentally overtighens. I originally ordered 200, and I just got another 500.
I used some on my boat trailer, which was made of fairly thick steel with a small pilot hole through which they threaded themselves in.
