FastCap #8 x 2-1/2" Flat Head Wood Screw Square Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Zinc, PHZ8.2.5"-1500 SQUA - 1500/Box

2-1/2 Inch Reach And A Clean Flush Seat

The FastCap #10 x 2-1/2" flat head wood screw gives you enough length to pull through 3/4-inch stock and sink solidly into a second member, with a Type 17 Auger point, coarse thread, and a #2 square drive that works well under power-tool torque. It comes packed 1500 to the box, sized for cabinet shops and production woodworking where this length gets steady daily use.

Key Features

• 2-1/2 inch length seats through 3/4-inch face material with plenty of thread engagement into the backing member.
• Type 17 Auger point cuts a clean entry channel in wood, reducing driving resistance and split risk.
• Coarse thread is matched to solid wood, plywood, and other fibrous wood substrates.
• #2 square drive holds the bit firmly in the recess for consistent torque transfer during high-volume driving.
• Flat head with nibs mills its own countersink as the screw seats, helping the head finish flush without a separate countersink step.
• Zinc-plated carbon steel provides standard corrosion protection for dry indoor woodworking applications.

Where This Length Earns Its Place

At 2-1/2 inches, this screw is long enough to fasten through a 3/4-inch panel or face-frame member and reach well into the structural layer behind it. That makes it a practical choice for attaching cabinet boxes to wall blocking, securing face frames to cabinet carcasses after assembly, fastening build-up strips, or joining panels where a shorter screw would leave too little thread in the receiving piece. It also works for general shop joinery where a #10 gauge and this length combination is already on the job.

Head, Point, and Drive Working Together

The flat head carries underhead nibs that mill the countersink into the wood surface as the screw is driven down. In hardwood and dense plywood, that milling action means the head seats flush without tearing or leaving a proud edge around the opening. The Type 17 Auger point does similar work at the tip: its fluted geometry cuts wood fibers cleanly rather than wedging them apart, which keeps the entry clean and lowers the torque needed to drive the screw fully home. The #2 square drive recess is designed to hold a correctly sized bit for positive engagement, which matters when driving 1500 screws across a production run where bit slippage slows the work.

A Production Box for Shops That Use This Size Daily

Cabinet and millwork shops that run #10 x 2-1/2" screws on a regular basis will go through a smaller pack quickly. The 1500-piece box keeps that size stocked without frequent reorders. The zinc-plated finish suits the dry, climate-controlled environment of most interior woodworking, and the coarse thread is appropriate for the solid wood, cabinet-grade plywood, and similar substrates that show up in typical shop work. This screw is for indoor applications; a corrosion-resistant coating would be needed for outdoor or treated-lumber work.

The Right Tool for High-Volume Indoor Fastening

When the job calls for a #10 wood screw long enough to anchor through panel stock into a solid backing, and the volume calls for a production-sized box, this FastCap 2-1/2" flat head square drive screw is ready to keep the work moving.
