• Head Style: Pan head — slightly domed top with flat bearing surface and rounded sides; protrudes above the material surface for a clean, finished look
• Thread Type: Self-tapping (sheet metal) — sharp threads cut into the material during installation
• Highly versatile: Suitable for use in wood, fiberglass, plastic, and thin sheet metal
• Quantity: 100 pieces per pack — ideal for production work, repairs, and stocking your toolbox
• Length measurement: Measured from under the head to the tip of the fastener
