S-98685A810 Length 1/2" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with high-quality brass material, ensuring long-lasting performance in humid or outdoor wood applications.
• Enhanced holding power through thread-forming technology, creating secure, vibration-resistant connections without pre-tapping.
• Effortless installation with the Phillips No. 2 drive and pointed tip, reducing cam-out and enabling quick, precise driving.
• Optimized for various wood types with recommended pilot holes (7/64" for hardwood, 3/32" for softwood) to prevent splitting and ensure clean finishes.
• Secure and flush seating thanks to the rounded head design, which minimizes surface damage and provides a professional appearance.
• Reliable partial threading for strong grip in the engagement zone while allowing for material compression and alignment flexibility.
• Compliance with environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries and consumer products.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10 brass wood screws are engineered to address common challenges in woodworking and construction, such as material splitting, corrosion, and installation efficiency. The thread-forming tapping method displaces wood fibers to create strong, permanent threads without the need for pre-threaded holes, reducing labor time and enhancing joint integrity. Made from durable brass, they resist rust and tarnishing, making them ideal for outdoor furniture, marine applications, and decorative wood projects where aesthetics and durability are critical. The Phillips drive and partially threaded design ensure quick driving and controlled clamping force, preventing over-tightening and wood damage. Suitable for both hardwood and softwood, these screws provide consistent performance in cabinetry, framing, and joinery, supported by precise pilot hole recommendations to maintain structural integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product adheres to standard inch measurements with a thread diameter of 0.19" and approximately 13 threads per inch, ensuring compatibility with common wood fastening requirements. The screws feature a rounded head with a diameter of 0.359" and a length of 1/2", designed for partial threading to optimize grip. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006), confirming the absence of hazardous substances and alignment with environmental safety regulations for global supply chains.
