MPN: HW8X1ZP
Minimum order quantity is .
Meet the Malco Zip-In 8X1 Self-Piercing Screws — a purpose-built solution for fast, reliable sheet-metal fastening. This 3500-count zinc-plated box pairs a precisely engineered drive with a powerful piercing action, making it the smart choice for professional contractors and serious DIYers alike.
The Zip-In advantage starts with its unique thread design and a rigorous heat-treat process. The screw tapers to a fine, sharp point without sacrificing point strength, so you get instant bite as soon as the tip touches metal. A single starting thread is formed down to the very tip, delivering immediate penetration and a solid seat. Then, a second thread above the point engages after initial penetration, drilling in twice as fast and locking in a secure hold with less effort.
Key features that matter for real-world results:
- 8X1 size with a 1/4" slotted hex washer head — designed for compatibility with standard drivers and precise, flush seating.
- Zinc-plated finish provides durable corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- 3500-count quantity helps you stay on task longer without frequent reorders.
- Dual-thread piercing action accelerates installation and enhances the ability to fasten heavier gauges of sheet metal.
- Self-piercing design eliminates the need for pre-drilling in many applications, saving time and reducing labor.
Why this matters in the field: The Zip-In screw is engineered to deliver higher driving speed and a stronger hold in thicker sheet metal than typical self-piercing screws. The combination of a sharp point, efficient threading, and a robust washer head means fewer drive attempts, cleaner holes, and a secure, flush finish that stands up to vibration and outdoor exposure.
Ideal applications include metal roofing and flashing, siding assemblies, HVAC duct connections, electrical enclosures, trailer fabrication, and automotive trim work — anywhere you need a dependable fastener that bites cleanly and holds tight under load.
Practical tips for best results: align components accurately, apply steady pressure, and let the dual-thread action do the work. For very thick or highly lubricated metals, consider a light pilot guide to ensure the starting point remains true and the screw maintains straight entry for a flawless finish.
