    Stainless Steel Torx Plus Rounded Head Thread-Forming Screws for Plastic

    Neither moisture nor a heavy hand can damage these screws. The deep, six-lobe recess withstands even more torque than a Torx drive to prevent slipping as you install screws in plastic. They press threads into molded or cast holes and won’t crack or distort the material. Use them to fasten plastic components, enclosures, and panels. The rounded head creates a finished look.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn’t round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. Also known as Plastite® screws.

    Stainless Steel Pan Head Torx Plus Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rounded Head Screws. Stainless Steel Pan Head Torx Plus Screws.
    The most corrosion-resistant pan head Torx Plus screws we offer. Pan heads have a moderate height and width profile, offering a middle ground between narrower button heads and wider truss heads. With larger lobes than Torx drives, Torx Plus withstands even more torque without the driver slipping and stripping the drive.
    Length is measured from under the head.

    Steel Torx Plus Rounded Head Thread-Forming Screws for Soft Metal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tapping Screws. Steel Torx Plus Rounded Head Thread-Forming Screws for Soft Metal.
    The deep, six-lobe recess keeps drivers from slipping when installing these screws in soft metals such as brass, aluminum, and copper. Torx Plus drives withstand even more torque than Torx. Also known as Taptite® screws, these have a tri-lobular shank that presses threads into material for a tight fit. The unthreaded lead-in point starts threads cleanly and keeps the screw aligned in the hole. Their rounded head creates a finished look.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black Acrylic-Coated Steel—These screws have a dark coating to create a finished look. They're a common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.

    L-Key

    T-Handle

    The assorted keys in these sets have a small handle that prevents you from generating too much torque when turning a fastener. They are often used to install carbide inserts in cutting tools.
    T-Handle—These keys have a wider handle than L-keys, so they're easier to grip.
    Black-Oxide Steel—The coating offers minimal corrosion resistance, so these keys are best for dry environments.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These keys resist rust in most wet and outdoor applications, however, they won't hold up to salt water and chemicals.

    With larger lobes, the bits in these sets deliver more torque than Torx bits without slipping and stripping the drive. They have a similar profile to Torx but are not recommended for use with standard Torx screws.
    Hex Shank—Also known as insert bits, these snap into hand tools. If you want to use them with power tools, attach a bit adapter (not included).
    Quick-Change Hex Shank—Lock these bits directly into power tools. They won't wobble as much as bits paired with an adapter, so they are the best choice for high-precision tasks.
    Steel—Best for dry environments, since moisture will cause these bits to rust.
