❓ Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why choose 8" screws over shorter alternatives?
A: 8" screws provide optimal penetration into rafter tails for maximum holding power, essential for supporting heavy gutters filled with water, snow, and ice. Shorter screws may only penetrate fascia boards, providing insufficient structural support.
Q: What makes the 5/16" hex head better than Phillips heads?
A: The 5/16" hex head provides superior torque transfer, prevents cam-out and stripping, and allows for consistent professional installation. Unlike Phillips heads that can strip under high torque, hex heads maintain their grip throughout installation.
Q: What's the difference between #14 and smaller screw sizes?
A: #14 screws (6.3mm diameter) provide significantly more holding power than smaller sizes like #10 or #12. The larger diameter creates more thread engagement with wood and provides superior resistance to pull-out forces.
Q: Do I need to pre-drill holes for these screws?
A: No, these screws feature aggressive self-tapping threading that eliminates pre-drilling in most wood applications. The sharp point and aggressive thread design allow the screw to create its own path through fascia boards and into rafter tails.
Q: How many screws do I need for a typical installation?
A: Professional installation requires hangers spaced maximum 24" on center. A typical single-story home (100-150 linear feet of gutter) requires 50-75 screws. Two-story homes may need 100-150 screws. Our 250-count box covers most residential projects.
Q: Can I pick up locally?
A: Yes! Same-day pickup available at Damascus, Oregon Monday-Friday 7am-4pm PT. Call (503) 496-7017 to place your order.
