Reviews for #8 S/S Self Tappers Flat Head Phillips

May 14, 2019

This is a soft grade of stainless. The phillips heads stripped out pretty easily. I was installing 2" #8 screws into hardwood (black locust) using a tapered pilot drill first. Got them all in but I had to remove and throw away a few. They stripped all at once and were then completely unusable. I even had to use a vise grip to get one back out. Using the torque limiter on my driver drill helped. (I used ordinary steel drywall screws temporarily with no problems at all.)
