Purchase flathead screws made for your particular job

For outdoor projects, use stainless flat head screws that won't rust. A flathead machine screw works best for joining metal and flathead wood screws are best for working with sheetrock.

I recommend: Purchase a flathead machine screw or stainless flat head screws at Nuts and Bolts. If you are in the market for a flathead machine screw or flathead wood screws, Grainger offers a diverse selection in a variety of sizes. Jamestown Distributors is a wholesale building supplier, who also specializes in marine fasteners and other construction materials.

Order flathead screws and flat head fasteners directly from flat head screw suppliers

Just about every type of flathead screw and flat head fasteners can be found online from a flathead machine screw, flathead woods screws and a metric flathead screw to a flathead cap screw, industrial flathead screws and stainless flat head screws.

I recommend: McFeely's is the best source for all types of flathead screws and flat head fasteners. Its product descriptions include size, length, bit size, recess and thread, plating and a picture of that particular flathead screw. It also features a metric conversion chart. Other flat head screw suppliers and manufacturers include Hillco Fasteners and Fastener-Express.

Search out flat head screw suppliers or a flat head screw manufacturer who sells in bulk

Many flat head screw vendors offer their customers better deals if they buy in bulk or larger-than-average quantities.

I recommend: You can buy items, such as a flathead cap screw, at an attractive price if you purchase them by the carton from Aaron's General Store. Prices rise dramatically when you order less than 1,000 items. Buy a single flathead machine screw or a box of 100 or 1,000 at BoltDepot. The more flathead screws you order the lower the price.
