Metal Roofing Screws #10 x 1-1/2 in Brown - 300-PCS Pack

Our review of these metal roofing screws finds them most attractive to homeowners and contractors fitting colored metal roof panels, corrugated roofing, sheds or DIY siding where a reliable seal and corrosion resistance matter. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a zinc plated 1022A carbon steel body and an EPDM rubber washer that together resist rust and help prevent leaks in wet climates. Installation is straightforward for most metal-to-wood applications and the included magnetic hex socket is a useful convenience.

Key Features

• Anti-corrosion coating: The zinc plated 1022A carbon steel construction provides stronger rust resistance for outdoor use in varied weather.
• Sharp pointed tip: The Type 17 point is designed to penetrate metal and wood without pre-drilling for faster installation on thin panels up to around 2 mm.
• Thread design: Aggressive high and low threads deliver solid holding power to clamp roofing panels tightly to wood substrates.
• Leak-proof washer: Each screw includes an EPDM rubber washer to form a durable seal against rain and snow and resist moisture and chemicals.
• Practical package: The 300-PCS kit includes a 5/16 in hex head size, one magnetic 8 mm (5/16 in) hex socket and a plastic storage box for jobsite convenience.
• Indoor/outdoor use: The coating and washer make these suitable for exterior roofing and siding as well as indoor fastening where corrosion resistance is desired.

Who It's For

These screws suit homeowners doing roof repairs, builders working on sheds or pole barns, and contractors installing colored metal roofing where a brown finish helps match panels and EPDM washers are needed for sealing. They are also convenient for DIYers who want a ready-to-use kit with a magnetic hex socket and storage box.

Buyers who require penetration of thicker metal or precision driver retention should look elsewhere; the screws are intended for metal thicknesses not exceeding about 2 mm and some users reported mixed experience with hex head retention and tip sharpness on harder materials.

Pros & Cons
