Hillman 90179 #8‑32 x 1/2 in. Round Head Slot/Combination Machine Screw – 100 Pack
The Hillman 90179 machine screw is engineered for dependable metal‑to‑metal fastening, delivering consistent performance across industrial, commercial, and home applications. Constructed from durable steel and finished with a protective zinc coating, this screw is designed to withstand moderate corrosion, ensuring reliability in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its fully machine‑cut #8‑32 threading provides precise engagement, making it ideal for fastening into tapped holes or pairing with nuts of the same size and finish.
This model features a round head with a combination drive (slotted and Phillips), giving installers the flexibility to use whichever tool is most convenient. The combination drive helps reduce the risk of cam‑out and over‑tightening, protecting both the hardware and the material being fastened. At 1/2 inch in length, measured from the underside of the head, it is especially suited for shallow fastening points, equipment assemblies, brackets, enclosures, and similar applications where a short, precise fastener is needed.
Packaged in a 100‑count box, the Hillman 90179 machine screw is an excellent bulk hardware solution for contractors, maintenance operations, manufacturing environments, or anyone looking to keep reliable fasteners on hand.
