Overview

The Minerallac Company 79512 is an 8x3/4 inch sharp point screw, featuring a zinc-plated steel construction for basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor applications. This fastener is designed with a hex washer head, providing a larger bearing surface for secure fastening and a degree of countersinking capability. The slotted drive is compatible with standard slotted screwdrivers.
