The Bremick Hex Head Screws are used for joining metal to metal which usually requires greater strength and torque input. This type of hex head screw is used for general fastening where a watertight seal is not necessary. These screws feature a drill point tip, meaning it can drill a starting hole so the threads of the screw can cut into the material, securing it into place. Its B8 coating makes it so that you can rest easy and that these screws will last a long time securing your projects. B8 coating is a hard, highly abrasion and extremely scratch resistant alloy, which is eight times more durable than conventional, soft and friable, zinc and galvanised coatings. - For metals - B8 coated for long lasting rust protection vs galvanising and zinc plating - Drill point - Great for fastening metals in corrosive areas
