These corrosion-resistant cup-tip screws grip parts tightly. Made of stainless steel, they won't rust, but they're not as strong as alloy steel. The tip has thin edges that dig into surfaces for a secure hold. They often lock gears, pulleys, and other transmission components onto shafts.

Softer than metal, these plastic screws won't scratch or dent surfaces. Unlike cup and cone tips, the flat tip distributes pressure evenly, reducing marring but not holding as tightly. They're a good choice for repositioning parts frequently on jigs, fixtures, and other applications where the tip presses against a flat surface.

Made of alloy steel, these screws are strong enough to hold components without wearing down. The tip has thin edges that dig into surfaces for a secure hold. They often lock gears, pulleys, and other transmission components onto shafts.

Thread these screws over a pin or another set screw to lock it in place, or over a spring to adjust tension. You can also peek through the hollow center to inspect locked parts. Made of alloy steel, these screws are strong enough to hold components without wearing down. Also known as jam set screws.

These button head screws have a shiny look and won't rust in damp environments. Made of brass, they're also conductive and nonmagnetic, making them useful for electrical applications. The button head looks similar to a pan head, but it's lower and more compact, taking up less space. With six contact points, the hex drive withstands more torque than slotted and Phillips to securely grip your driver.

Length is measured from under the head.

No wiggle, no wobble. Unlike standard cup tips, the knurled edges on these screws dig deeper into shafts and other materials. With a better grip, they're less likely to loosen when securing collars, gears, and pulleys that experience vibration. Made of alloy steel, they're strong enough to hold components without wearing down.
