MPN: HW8X2ZG
Minimum order quantity is .
Meet the Malco HW8X2ZG Zip-In Self-Piercing Screws—the fast, reliable choice for sheet metal projects that demand clean entry, strong grip, and lasting performance. Built around a smart two-thread design and a precision heat-treat process, Zip-In screws bite through metal with minimal effort and maximum control.
What makes Zip-In different
- Two-thread penetrating system: A single starting thread forms down to the tip for confident entry, and a second thread above the point engages after initial penetration to drill in double-fast. The result is quicker drives with less wandering and deformation, even on heavier gauge sheet metal.
- Smart heat treatment: The process preserves critical point strength while tapering to a fine, sharp point, delivering consistent piercing power from the first inch to the last.
- 1/4" Slotted Hex Washer Head: A durable, secure drive profile that seats flush and resists pull-out in demanding installations, with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance.
- Zinc-plated for durability: Protected against the elements, making these screws suitable for outdoor and moisture-prone environments without compromising performance.
- 50-count quantity: A practical packaging size for pros and serious DIYers who regularly work with metal assemblies.
Ideal use cases
- Attach flashing, roofing panels, trim, and light- to medium-gauge metal without pre-punching holes.
- Secure ductwork, enclosures, or HVAC components where reliable penetrating power matters.
- Fasten metal-to-metal applications in workshops, garages, or on-site fabrication, including aluminum and galvanized steel sheets.
How this screws helps your project
- Faster installations: The dual-thread action reduces drive time and minimizes material distortion, letting you seal panels quickly and confidently.
- Better holds on thicker metal: Designed to handle heavier gauges more effectively than typical self-piercing screws, giving you a secure, long-lasting bond.
- Reliability in tough conditions: Zinc plating guards against corrosion, so joints stay strong indoors and out.
Practical installation tips
- Use a high-torque impact driver or a drill with a suitable bit to maintain control and prevent over-tightening.
- Keep surfaces clean and debris-free to ensure the second-thread engagement hits cleanly and the seal remains tight.
- Align components carefully to maximize the benefits of the two-thread design and achieve a flush, professional finish.
