Benefits

  • The Phillips recess is a precision recess designed for better bit engagement resulting in less wobble or strip-out.
  • The Bugle Head screws are more evenly heat treated and tempered resulting consistent and reliable performance.
  • Scorpion® Bugle Head screws begin with the best available materials and conform to strict manufacturing requirements in thread forming. Extra sharp threads mean screws will drive faster and will hold better.
  • Self-tapping drill point is designed for quick penetration into heavy-gauge metal.

Recommended Application

  • Use a standard screw gun with a depth-sensitive nose piece and use extra caution when installing with impact drivers. Suggested screw gun specification for optimal performance - Size #6 - #10 up to 2,500 RPM.
  • The Bugle Head is fully seated when the top of the head is flush with the work surface.
  • The fastener must penetrate beyond the metal a minimum of three full threads.
  • Overdriving my result in fastener failure or strip out of the work surface.
