Metal ROOFING SCREWS 10 x 1-1/2 in Copper Hex Head - Durable Fixings

In this review of Jake Sales Metal ROOFING SCREWS, the bottom line is simple: these (250) 10 x 1-1/2 in copper-colored hex head sheet metal screws are aimed at homeowners and contractors who need a reliable, color-matched fastener for securing metal roofing to wood. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a sharp T17 point and a 1/2 in EPDM washer under a painted head, which together make for a weather-resistant, low-profile fastening that blends with many metal roof panels while resisting corrosion over time.

Key Features

• Painted Hex Head: The 1/4 in hex head is painted with a two part polyurethane to provide a close color match to many metal roofing brands and extend head durability.
• EPDM Washer: The 1/2 in EPDM washer under the head seals the screw location to help prevent water intrusion around the fastener.
• Sharp T17 Point: The self-starting T17 type point drives quickly into wood framing, reducing the need for pilot holes on sheet metal roofing panels.
• Galvanized Shaft: The #10 shaft is galvanized for corrosion resistance, making these screws suitable for exposed roof installations.
• Painted Finish Longevity: The two part polyurethane paint offers better durability than simple coatings, helping the heads retain color over time.

Who It's For

These roofing screws are best for renovators, DIYers and roofing contractors fastening metal roof panels to wood purlins or wood sheathing where a color-matched appearance and water-tight seal are important. Packs of 250 suit small to medium roof repairs and replacement panels.

Those who should look elsewhere include installers needing stainless steel fasteners for coastal or extremely corrosive environments or projects that require longer shafts than the 1-1/2 in under-head length supplied here.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quality painted heads that blend well with many metal panels and resist wear.
• Effective EPDM washer seal reduces leaks where screws penetrate the roof surface.
• Sharp T17 point and hex head make installation straightforward for most installers.

Cons

• Some users report inconsistent driving ease; a few screws can be harder to run in depending on wood density.
