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.

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.

Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these screws won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

Highly Corrosion-Resistant Black-Oxide 316 Stainless Steel—Combines a finished appearance with the rust resistance of 316 stainless steel. Even if the coating wears off, these screws will hold up against corrosive agents in most environments, including salt water and most chemicals.
