*USED* Cross recessed pan head ST2.9x8 tapping screw

Used Cross recessed pan head ST2.9x8 tapping screw — a compact Phillips-drive fastener ready for self-tapping into compatible materials. This pre-owned fastener combines a low-profile pan head with a dependable cross recessed drive, designed to sit flush while providing a broad bearing surface for secure seating in assemblies.

Key specs

• Drive type: Cross recessed (Phillips)
• Size: ST2.9x8 (diameter 2.9 mm, length 8 mm)
• Head style: Pan head
• Condition: Used

What makes it stand out

Self-tapping action means it creates its own threads as you tighten, reducing the need for pilot holes in suitable materials. The pan head distributes load across a wider area than a standard countersunk screw, which helps resist pull-out in light-duty applications.

Ideal use cases

Great for small projects, repairs, or hobby builds where a Phillips-drive, pan-head, self-tapping screw is appropriate. Suitable for non-critical assemblies where budget-friendly, used components are acceptable.

Installation tips

Choose a screwdriver that matches the drive size and apply steady, even pressure as you tighten. Avoid overtightening to minimize thread damage, especially in softer materials. If this fastener is part of a critical load-bearing or safety-related assembly, consider replacing with new fasteners to ensure maximum integrity.
