Overview

The NSI Industries QDS153 is a precision-engineered #8 sheet metal screw designed for self-piercing applications in light gauge sheet metal assemblies. Manufactured by Avanti Screw, Inc., this USA-made steel screw features a 3/4-inch length, a 1/4-inch indented hex washer head, and a Quadrive drive type for secure installation with minimal cam-out. The Quadrive head offers four drive types in one: Hex, Slotted, Phillips, and Square recess, ensuring compatibility with multiple tool types and enhancing versatility in fast-paced assembly environments. The zinc chromate finish provides corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability in industrial environments. Optimized for use with the MT208B Chuck, the QDS153 eliminates the need for pre-drilling in many sheet metal gauges, reducing installation time and labor costs. Its self-piercing design allows for direct fastening into materials such as electrical outlets, framing, and other light gauge metal applications. Key specifications include a #8 diameter, 3/4-inch length, and 1/4-inch head width. Each pack contains 100 screws, making it ideal for bulk applications where consistent, reliable fastening is critical. The QDS153 is part of NSI Industries' Quadrive line of self-piercing screws, recognized for their efficiency and precision in light metal assembly tasks. Applications include electrical panel fabrication, HVAC ductwork, and general sheet metal repair. The screw's design and finish make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use where exposure to moisture and corrosion is a concern. For larger projects, NSI Industries offers bulk packaging options, including 1000-piece quantities in Hard Body Pac Square Plastic Jars or cartons, available by request with part numbers ending in 'M'.
