It is tough to find good-quality brass screws in a wide range of sizes. These screws have well-defined threads and strong necks with machine-cut slot-drive heads.
The 82° countersink angle fits the chamfer angle found on most hardware. As with all brass screws, a countersunk pilot hole is recommended before installation.
The screws come unlacquered and will acquire a natural patina with age. To prevent oxidation and discoloration, a lacquer can be applied.
Offered in packages of 10 and 100.
