    Stainless Steel Pan Head Phillips Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rounded Head Screws. Stainless Steel Pan Head Phillips Screws.
    These stainless steel pan head Phillips screws won't rust or corrode when exposed to moisture and chemicals. They have a moderate height and width profile, offering a middle ground between narrower button heads and wider truss heads. The Phillips drive easily aligns with drivers and withstands more torque than slotted drives, but drivers slip when you apply too much force.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws won't rust. However, they don't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    Easy-Start Helical Threaded Insert Installation Tools

    These tools compress the diameter of your insert so it fits easily into a tapped hole. They’re the best choice for preventing misaligned or damaged threads—just make sure you have space to turn the crank. Screw or slide an insert onto your tool and drive it between a quarter-turn and half-turn below the surface. Also known as prewinders.

    Pronged

    Restore, reinforce, or create threads in metal. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they're often used in engine heads and machinery housings where strong connections are critical. Unlike threadlocking inserts, you can remove and reuse them without them losing their strength.
    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
    Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.
