Pancake Head Screws

Each job or project requires specialized tools and materials. Whether you’re a do-it-yourself enthusiast or a service industry professional, you need a wide range of materials for different applications — including pancake head screws.

Pancake screws are distinguished by their round, low-profile heads, which make them the ideal choice for fastening panel clips to wood, along with many other applications, like building carports or barns and working on roofing projects. You can certainly try to use different types of screws for these applications, but you’ll find that pancake head screws deliver the best results while also allowing you to work quickly and efficiently. The only question is: Where can you find the high-quality pancake screws you need for upcoming work?

The answer: at All Points Fasteners. At All Points, we carry several types of panel clip screws, with a range of options in various sizes and configurations. We believe that all do-it-yourselfers and service professionals deserve access to the fasteners that will help their work reach its full potential, which is why we offer this vast selection of different pancake head self-drilling, self-piercing, and auger (or type 17 point) screws.

We also believe that you always deserve quality, and we’re committed to offering only the best pancake head screws — products that perform durably over the long term. Like all our products, our low-profile head screws are manufactured to the highest standards of quality and can be counted on for durable fastening performance.

What Are the Benefits of Using Pancake Screws for Your Projects?

A pancake head screw offers a host of features that can add value to your projects in many ways:

  • Low-profile heads: The low-profile head type means the fastener won’t extrude above the surface as other screw head types. Because they low-profile and unassuming, pancake screws can benefit projects where appearance is crucial. They provide fewer concerns about damage, as they remain below the surface of the material and are less likely to come in contact with other objects. These screws also work well in applications where there is limited fastening space.
  • Phillips/Square drive: Because these fasteners are Phillips/Square-drive screws instead of slotted screws, they can be easier to install. The x-shaped head combined with the square drive provides a self-centering effect when combined with the quadrex screwdriver. The force of the torque enables the user to drive the screw straighter, ensuring a tighter fit and a longer-lasting result. The head diameter also provides more surface area, making it less likely that the screwdriver will slip out during fastening and unfastening.
  • Multiple sizes: Our ability to offer pancake screws in multiple sizes means we can meet the needs of any contractor, roofer or construction professional who requires them for their projects. You can select from 10-inch x 5/8-inch, 10-inch x 1-inch and 12-inch x 3/4-inch versions. Our product experts are available to help you select the right size, configuration and material for your applications.
  • Corrosion resistance: When you opt for a stainless steel pancake head screw, you’ll get excellent protection against rust. If you’re completing an outdoor project, you can feel confident that your screws won’t experience wear and tear caused by the elements and will stand the test of time. Roofers and others choose these fasteners when working in moist or humid climates where corrosion poses a constant threat.
  • Time savings: Are you looking to reduce the time it takes to complete your projects? These premium drilling screws enable you to work efficiently and boost your productivity. Pancake screws will help keep your jobs on schedule by enabling you to quickly complete each one. You’ll also be able to deliver better service to your customers, leading to repeat business and positive reviews.
  • Affordability: Screws in general provide a cost-effective fastening solution for budget-conscious companies. And when you purchase them from All Points Fasteners, you can save even more money. Our case-quantity bulk pricing will help you keep your equipment and operating costs under control.

Typical Applications

How exactly can you use pancake head screws? Stainless steel pancake head screws are typically used for metal roofing, garage or outbuilding construction, HVAC work, and many other applications. Depending on the material and the point, they can fasten metal to wood or metal to metal. Use them in indoor or outdoor installations for light or heavy gauge applications.

It’s clear that pancake head screws are a versatile fastener to add to your materials. Be sure you don’t try to substitute a different fastener for an application where pancake head screws are best suited. You need the right materials for the right applications, and, at All Points Fasteners, we’re passionate about connecting service professionals and do-it-yourself enthusiasts with the pancake head screws they so desperately need to see projects reach their full potential.
