Malco’s Best Sheet Metal Screws: Zip-ins

Zip-in Self Piercing Sheet Metal Screws

Penetrating power in a compact package. Known for superior quality worldwide, Malco’s Zip-ins are made with a sophisticated heat-treat process that allows the screw to taper to a fine, sharp point without sacrificing critical point strength. This consistent hardpoint will not mushroom or break, making it a reliable choice on the job site. Zip-in screws feature a combination-lead double thread design that instantly penetrates and engages in heavy-gauge sheet metal and layered light gauge. For the best performance, use any Zip-in screw with a Malco C-RHEX® Cleanable, Reversible Magnetic Hex Driver. It’s the ultimate duo for any trade pro.
