Product Spotlight: Grade 5 Structural Drill Screws, Made in the USA

With increasing strain on supply levels for some popular name brand fasteners like Elco’s Dril-Flex screws, many of our customers are looking for alternate options. In the case of structural drill screws, Mudge is pleased to offer new Grade 5 self-drilling screws as an alternate that are made right here in America.

These low-cost alternative drill screws are made from alloy steel that has been heat treated to Grade 5 specifications, with a higher hardness on the drill point and lead threads. Additionally, these Grade 5 screws are also coated with a proprietary corrosion resistant coating that has been tested up to 1,000 salt spray hours. The result is a drill screw that provides quick, positive drilling while preventing “head popping” brittle failures.

The new Grade 5 USA-made drill screws are stocked in two sizes; 12-14 x 1-1/2” and 1/4-14 x 2". With a minimum order of 25,000, many more sizes and variations can be ordered, including hex washer heads or phillips undercut flat heads, #10 to 1/4” diameters, #3-#5 self-drilling points, and Type B self-tapping or UNC thread types.
