Description
The Hillman 128202 #8 × 5/8‑inch wood screw is a zinc‑finished steel fastener designed specifically for joining two pieces of wood securely. Its smooth shank helps pull materials tightly together while reducing the risk of wood splitting, and its coarse threads provide strong holding power in soft or hard woods. This flat‑head screw installs flush with the surface for a clean finish and requires a pilot hole due to its standard point design. Durable and versatile, it’s suitable for general woodworking, repairs, and light construction tasks.
