    Same-Size Thread Stainless Steel Hex-Drive Shoulder Screws

    Harness superior holding power with screws that also won't rust. Threads that match the shoulder diameter create a tighter hold than screws with a standard thread diameter. Use them in thicker materials and larger holes. While more corrosion resistant than alloy steel screws, they're not as strong.
    Check out our Made-to-Order Same-Size Thread Stainless Steel Hex-Drive Shoulder Screws if you don't see the shoulder length you need.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws won't rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They won't rust in wet and outdoor environments, but they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
