S-98685A780 Length 2 1/2" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with brass construction for long-lasting performance in humid or outdoor wood applications
• Optimal thread engagement with 15 threads per inch and thread forming design creates secure, vibration-resistant connections in wood
• Flush installation capability through rounded head design that sits neatly with wood surfaces without protruding
• Enhanced driving efficiency with No. 2 Phillips drive providing reliable torque transfer and reduced cam-out risk
• Material-specific pilot guidance with recommended drill sizes for both hardwood (3/32") and softwood (5/64") applications
• Partial threading design allows for stronger clamping force while preventing wood splitting during installation
• Global compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH environmental standards for international projects

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8 brass wood screws deliver exceptional value in woodworking and construction applications where material compatibility and long-term reliability are critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes while creating stronger thread engagement in both hardwood and softwood materials. The brass construction provides natural corrosion resistance ideal for outdoor furniture, marine applications, and high-humidity environments where steel fasteners would deteriorate. The partially threaded shank and rounded head profile work together to prevent wood splitting while ensuring flush mounting for professional finishes. With precise 2-1/2" length and 0.164" thread diameter, these screws offer optimal holding power for medium to heavy-duty wood joining applications.
