Bolt Dropper #4 x 1/4" Stainless Steel Flat Head Phillips Wood Screw (100 Pack), 18-8 (304) Stainless Steel Sheet Metal Screws - Type A Point, Plain Finish

This is a good product for basic repairs. I bought these screws to replace the 1 inch screws on all my exterior entry door hinges, dead bolt, door knobs and striker plates, as a security enhancement.I read all the reviews looking for the best product at a reasonable price, This product got high marks with one exception: Several reviews commented on how easily the screw heads rounded out. I purchased these screws anyway.I only had 1 screw head "round out" out of the 50 I used. The reason it failed was because I used too small a drill bit for a pilot hole, used a cordless drill to install the screw all the way in and it rounded out because I allowed the screw driver drill bit head to spin on the screw head once the screw it self had seated. So that is the only problem with these screws, "user errors".My suggestion is to buy these screws and use a little discretion in using them. Use the closest size drill bit to the screw for drilling your pilot hole all the way in. The less resistance the screw meets along the way the less chance you have of stripping the head out. Next, if using a cordless drill to set the screw in, run it all the way down to the last 1/8 to 1/4 inch and then go manual with a screw driver to seat the screw. Better to take a minute and seat the screw this way than "round out the head" with too much power and have to spend more time having to get the screw back out at a later date.There is nothing wrong with these screws. These are good screws if you do the job right and don't over torque the head with a power drill during the last 1/8 inch.

I've ordered Bolt Dropper stainless steel screws in many sized over the years. I have always found them to be top quality, enough so that when I need stainless for whatever reason, I look for Bolt Dropper first. If they sell the size I need, that's what I order. Highly recommend.

Some time ago, I designed and 3D printed a 4x6 (four six inch speakers) guitar speaker cabinet. Some design flaws forced me to design, print, and install some reinforcement plates, which I installed with some short #8 screws.I decided to print another unique guitar speaker cabinet, a 2x10 (two ten inch speakers). I used what I learned from the 4x6 to improve the design, and found the short #8 screws wouldn't be sufficient for the task. Enter these 1" long screws.The photo I attached is a WIP shot I took as I assembled the cabinet, which is comprised of two shells and two end cover plates. One speaker is installed in the photo but you can see how the two shells are connected side by side. That connection was made using a small handful of these screws, and they worked, and are working great!The shells are printed from PETG, so I had to go REALLY REALLY slow as I drove the screws into the inner walls of the shells. These screws were nice and stout, so I had zero issues driving them into the shell walls. I said they're working great because I've been toting this cabinet around a bit since I've completed it, and there's no sign of strain or slippage between the two shells.Honestly, that's about all I can say; It's a bag of screws, and the screws worked well for my application, and I'll be using them again when a similar situation arises!

I can't say enough good things about the seller. My order arrived seemingly instantly in spite of being in a somewhat remote area that usually takes a day longer for deliveries and we put the screws right to work the same day. They're made of 304 stainless steel and over time I've learned to deal with the fact that this is a fairly soft alloy. Keep this in mind when you're attaching metal parts to wood because the threads aren't strong enough to cut thru a predrilled hole that's smaller than the shank of the screw. The threads at the point won't tap and will just round off. The soft characteristic of these higher grade stainless screws will also round out in the Phillips head so use a good fresh bit in your driver and predrill the hole in the wood. I'm not sure if 316 or 410 stainless is any better in terms of hardness, so these are probably the way to go in salty realms. In fact, we've gone to 100% stainless for all exterior fasteners on all building projects here on the Washington coast. 304 is a good compromise between 410 and 316 but expect some rust-colored staining over decadal time frames. We use 316 nails for external application and do the same with screws when we can find proper ones.

Perfect for what I needed them for. Priced less than the big stores for the quantity that came in the box.

I needed a specific size for use with a mending plate and these worked just fine and they arrived shortly after the order was placed.

Hardware appears to be of good quality. I've used about 30 at this point with no issues.

I used these in a damp environment where carbon steel screws get rusty. These don't. Appear to be the same dimensions and thread as the "standard" #6x1/2 screws they replaced.

1. These screws are not stainless steel (SS) because magnetic attraction was observed - SS metal is not magnetic.2. Three out of five screw heads stripped when screwing into redwood cedar fence boards - one of the softer woods. This should not have happened.Would not recommend this product or seller.

Expected stainless steel to be more than rust resistant. After 2 weeks outside already rusty.

Hard to find size and type. They look of good quality stainless screws. Will buy again if odd size needed and cant find in a hardware store.

IT screws - Works great!

Muy robustos y de muy buena calidad
