Product Description Product Use

This screw is countersunk and is used in applications where the head must sit flush with the surface it's going into. We carry these in Phillips and slotted drive, zinc coated and stainless steel.  
Hex Washer Head
A very common screw used in many applications. It has a hex slotted head so it can be driven with a socket driver or a flat head screwdriver. The washer made onto the head spreads the impact of the screw out. Sometimes seen with a Phillips drive but not as common. Zinc and Stainless.
Pan Head
Flat or gently rounded top or it looks like someone formed it with a pan, hence the name. Most common in Phillips, but available in slotted. Zinc and stainless.
Truss Head
Looks like a pan head that has been squished, so it's wider and shorter. Like the pan head, more common in Phillips, but still available in slotted drive. Zinc and stainless.
