Metal ROOFING SCREWS 10 x 1-1/2 in Brown Hex Head - Durable Match

In this review the Metal ROOFING SCREWS (250) 10 x 1-1/2 in Brown are evaluated for roofers and DIYers who need a bulk, colored fastener for attaching metal roofing to wood. The bottom line: these screws stand out for their practical combination of a painted colored head, EPDM washer and a sharp T17 point that makes them a solid choice when a close color match and corrosion resistance matter. For anyone fastening sheet metal to wood, the main reason to buy is the consistent head finish and the washered seal that helps protect against leaks.

Key Features

• Colored Hex Head: The painted 1/4 in hex head is finished with a two part polyurethane to better blend with roof panels and resist weathering.
• EPDM Washer Seal: Each screw has a 1/2 in EPDM washer to help create a watertight seal when fastening metal roofing to wood structure.
• T17 Sharp Point: The sharp T17 type point starts quickly and penetrates wood backing with less pre-drilling in most common roofing installations.
• #10 Galvanized Shaft: The galvanized shaft provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor roofing environments.
• Measured Length: The screws measure 1-1/2 in under the head, giving a reliable grip through single-layer metal into wood framing.
• Bulk Pack: Sold as a pack of 250, the quantity is convenient for contractors and larger DIY roof projects.

Who It's For

These screws are best for professional roofers and competent DIY homeowners installing or repairing metal roofing panels on wood purlins or decking who need a colored head that blends with the panels and provides a washered seal. The pack size and construction make them a sensible choice for full-panel runs and patch work where matching head color matters.

Those who should look elsewhere include installers who require stainless steel fasteners for extreme coastal exposure or projects needing non-painted heads; also, if a longer shaft or different diameter is required, choose a screw specified for that application instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good color match and head finish thanks to the two part polyurethane paint for longer product life.
• EPDM washer gives a reliable seal to reduce leaks at each fastener point.
• T17 point and galvanized shaft make installation effective for metal-to-wood applications.
• Bulk 250 count offers value for larger jobs.

Cons

• Painted heads may vary slightly in shade and are not zinc-plated, so exact color match can differ between batches.
• Some users report mixed ease of installation depending on wood density and driver setup.

Our Verdict

For most metal roofing projects on wood, these screws deliver good value: the painted hex heads offer a neat visual match, the EPDM washer helps prevent leaks, and the T17 point drives reliably in standard wood substrates. They are not the choice for extreme coastal corrosion needs or where exact paint matching from batch to batch is critical, but for everyday roofing work this pack of 250 is a practical, cost-effective option.
