Selected User Reviews For #6 x 1/2" Self Tapping Stainless Steel Metal Screw, (100 Pack) Phillips Pan Head Self Drilling Screws, 410 Stainless Steel, Choose Size, by Bolt Dropper
In the past I have bought many bags of screws of various sizes with the same results. If you buy a bag of 100, you should expect only to get 20 screws. There is a 30 minute limit to do there jobs! There is a serious lack of metal in these parts. Even with a new bit, the heads will strip out and the tap part will shear off. There are also very common cases where it goes halfway in and strips itself off! Because you can't screw it in nor screw it out, you need to get a pry bar and try to pull the screw out so you don't snap it inside.
I always include all holes and I even pre drill them to give it the greatest chance of failing. Don't support this crap! Go somewhere else! 70% time!.
In my opinion, 410 stainless is the best of both worlds on both counts, it is magnetic yet corrosion resistant. I wish that I could find other types of hardware like it. However, in order to be completely honest, there are some cons to this product The self drilling end sucks and there are never enough threads on these screws to hold anything. I bought a thousand of these and started using them, but there are not enough threads to hold anything and there should be more threads on these screws. It is far too short for this type of end. It may be used to drill sheet metal, but I don't see any other applications. Although I wouldn't purchase them again, I won't be caught with them Customer service is awful. Before I purchased this item, I asked them if they had any 410 stainless screws with full threads from bolt dropper. I haven't gotten a response yet in a couple of weeks.
Thought I was buying stainless steel screws. If they were true stainless steel screws, the magnet would not pick them up sadly, I found out this by accident one project after I finished. I guess only time will tell how much rust will form on the screws in and outside settings.
In many cases, Phillips head screws do not retain their position in the bit as well as hex head screws. In order to perform a punch through, they will wander a little. This is not in opposition to screws, however. The fastener itself is what makes it that way. To fix myself, I had to buy Phillips heads The stainless tappers are excellent. They get the job done well.
Suitable for the job. I attached aluminum sheets around a tree so squirrels could not climb up to the roof. They would otherwise chew through wiring on the roof. It is not necessary for pilot holes to be drilled with self tapping screws, and they have a good hold on the oak.
I saw that the bag (not the shipping bag, but the bag that told the screws) was open and definitely not 100. I only counted 49 scrolls!.
I would be okay if I had received the 100 ct at the time my order was placed, as stated by other reviewers, however, these are NOT SS, which would be okay for my purposes. As a result of delivery, the package description was changed to describe Therefore, I will have to pay $7 each for 25 magnetic screws. Three boxes of screws can be bought for $7 at the store, or a 100 ct of SS screws can be purchased for $10.
Attempting to piss you off and give you money are all these things are good at. Almost instantly after an engagement of the cutter, heads pop out. They strip out half way into the material and stay there most of the time! There's no way to fix it except pry it out with a bar. The striped threads in the middle prevent it from going further and will not allow it to back out.
Have you ever had a ton completely snap When you have a desired amount of screws, you will have to buy extra ones. My word is your bond.
