- What does No. 10-24 mean?
- No. 10 is the screw diameter and 24 is the number of threads per inch. It is a coarse machine thread that fits standard No. 10-24 nuts and tapped holes.
- Can I use these in wood?
- No. Machine screws need a threaded metal hole or a nut. For wood, use wood screws, which have a coarser thread and a pointed tip.
- Will the zinc finish rust outdoors?
- Zinc plating protects against light moisture indoors. For decks, fences or anything rained on, use stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized screws instead.
- What drive does the head take?
- A Phillips screwdriver. The flat head is designed to sit flush in a countersunk hole, so it will stand proud on a flat surface without one.
- What is in the pack?
- 100 zinc-plated steel machine screws, each No. 10-24 and 2 inches long. Nuts and washers are not included.
