EAGLE 1 Metal Roofing Screws #10 2.5 in - Painted Hex Head (Burgundy)

In this review the EAGLE 1 Metal Roofing Screws #10 (2.5 in, burgundy) are examined for homeowners and contractors who need a reliable fastener for metal to wood applications; the biggest reason to buy is the combination of wide course threads and an EPDM rubber washer that together deliver a secure, leak-resistant hold on corrugated and sheet metal roofing. The package includes a free 1/4' magnetic hex bit driver, which makes installation straightforward for DIYers and pros alike while the painted hex head offers a close color match for visible panels.

Key Features

• Wide course threads: The threads grip tightly into wood decking to reduce loosening and maintain a stable roof attachment over time.
• 1/4' hex head: A standard hex bit driver fits the screw head and the included magnetic driver speeds installation and reduces dropped screws.
• EPDM rubber washer: The washer creates a watertight seal between the metal panel and screw, helping prevent leaks at penetration points.
• Sharp slotted tip: The pointed, slotted tip penetrates metal roofing panels with normal hand-drill pressure for quick fastening.
• Painted finish: The burgundy coating improves visual match on colored panels and offers additional corrosion resistance.
• Generous count options: Available in bulk counts so projects can be completed without repeated trips for more fasteners.

Who It's For

These screws are best for homeowners, remodelers, and roofing contractors fastening metal roofing or siding to wood purlins or decking where a watertight, color-matched fastener is required. The included magnetic 1/4' hex bit driver and the sharp tip make them suitable for short runs or larger jobs where efficiency matters.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need stainless steel fasteners for marine environments or installations into hard substrates other than wood, and anyone requiring specialty head types beyond the 1/4' hex head offered here.
