BCP Fasteners #8 x 1/2", 500Qty Black Wood Screws - Phillips Modified Truss Head Wood Screws, Black Phosphate Coated Carbon Steel, Perfect for Wood-to-Wood & Thin Metal Fastening Projects BCP1107

This is a very good product for my use at work fine

good for my small projects on my home repair

Great screws, strong.

Great fasteners for attaching things to wood, metal, even cement. I haven’t run into anything yet that these screws have not penetrated and gripped well.

Exactly what was needed for a repair my husband had to do on speakers.

Love it. It's sturdy and looks like original.

These screws solve problems.The points are very sharp. This may seem obvious, but they're much sharper than most. These start easily (by hand! without even thinking about drilling anything!) in thin sheet metal, or wood, or plastic, or whatever.They've got dual threads. This means that they drive in with half as many turns of the screwdriver, and have an extra thread with which to cling into thin materials.The heads are big. This helps when fastening weak materials, like (say) plastic plumber strap.The Philips recess is precise, and appropriately-tight. It fits snugly onto my non-magnetic screwdrivers without falling off, and also does not slip when I use them with a drill.The black finish may not be the most weather-resistant, but it is certainly black. Black often works well when trying to keep fasteners appear less-obviously. I don't know what process is used to make them black (and there are at least a couple of them that could apply), but it does not appear to be paint.Other thoughts: These are sold as "wood screws," but are actually what is conventionally known as sheet metal screws. IYKYK.

The small fasteners worked great for the project I am working on.
