Manufacturer Varies by Location Zinc Zip Screws, #8 and #10, Multiple Colors and Sizes, 100 to 1000 Count

Zinc Zip Screws are self-penetrating fasteners with a threaded design tapering to a fine needlepoint, with threads machined all the way to the point for strong penetration. This line spans #8 and #10 screws in lengths from 1/2 in. to 2 in., in mill, copper plated and painted siding colors. Sell units vary by item: 100-count bags, 250-count boxes or 1000-count boxes.

Key Features:

• Needlepoint tip: Threads taper to a fine needlepoint, machined down to the end of the point.
• Heat treated point: A heat treat process lets the point taper finely without sacrificing point strength.
• Double thread drive: A starting thread at the tip penetrates first; a second thread above engages to move the screw in double fast.
• Standard tool: Requires only a standard screw gun rated at 2500 RPM with a drilling depth locator.
• Color match: Painted color options include Cameo, Silver Gray, Rugged Canyon, Linen, White, Everest, Scottish Thistle, English Wedgewood and Misty Shadow.

Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

The needlepoint and dual-thread design make these screws a go-to for sheet metal and trim work where fast driving matters. Use a depth locator to avoid overdriving and dimpling thin panels, and match painted heads to your panel color for invisible fastener lines. For heavier structural attachment, step up to the 2 in. #10 variant.

Wear eye protection when driving screws; broken points and flying fragments are a hazard.

Order Zinc Zip Screws in the size, color and pack that matches your panel job.
