Stainless Steel Hex-Drive Shoulder Screws

These screws hold up against moisture and chemicals better than their steel counterparts, but they aren't as strong.

Check out our Made-to-Order 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.

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.

Shoulder Shortening—Pare down the shoulder on screws or tighten the screw's hold. Stack multiple shims to get the exact spacing you need.

Shoulder Lengthening—Wiggle over threads to add space or increase travel along the shoulder of screws. Stack these shims to get the exact spacing you need.

Steel Hex-Drive Shoulder Screws

Our strongest standard-fit shoulder screws. With the highest tensile strength, they withstand stress and mechanical loads that would break other materials, such as aluminum, nickel, and stainless steel. However, they do sacrifice corrosion resistance.

Black-Oxide Alloy Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

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.

Eyebolts—For Lifting

Also known as machinery eyebolts.

Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. Eyebolts with shoulder can be used for angular lifting up to 45°, but the capacities will be significantly reduced. For angular lifting, we recommend Hoist Rings. Eyebolts without shoulder are for vertical lifting only.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
