Features

• Indented Hex Washer Head: Distributes clamping load across the joint, provides flush underside profile, and resists pull-out in thin metal.
• Drive compatibility: Slotted drive supports common hand tools and power drivers; standard torque profile reduces cam-out risk in typical sheet metal operations.
• Finish and corrosion resistance: Zinc plated with bake coating offers corrosion resistance in indoor and outdoor environments and improves surface hardness for long-term durability.
• Material and compatibility: Steel substrate delivers strength in light to moderate applications; Type AB thread design promotes secure engagement in thinner sheets.
