You’re fixing a small electronic device, assembling a piece of furniture, or working on a DIY metal project – and you need tiny screws that won’t rust, look clean, and drive easily. These nickel‑plated carbon steel screws come in both round (pan) head and countersunk flat head styles, so you can choose the finish that fits your job. The Phillips drive works with standard crosshead screwdrivers, and the sharp tip bites quickly into wood, plastic, or soft metal. Fully threaded for maximum grip. Available in diameters M1.2, M1.4, M2, M2.5, M3, and M4, with lengths from 3mm to 12mm. Perfect for electronics, appliances, lighting fixtures, and furniture assembly.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Nickel‑Plated Phillips Screws
1. How do I measure the length of round vs. countersunk screws?
For round (pan) head screws, length is measured from the underside of the head to the tip (head not included). For countersunk (flat) head screws, length is measured overall – from the top of the head to the tip. This matches our table above.
2. Are these screws self‑tapping? Can I drive them into plastic or wood without pre‑drilling?
These are machine screws with a sharp tip – they can be driven into soft wood or plastic with a pilot hole, but they are not true self‑tapping screws. For metal, you’ll need a pre‑tapped hole or a nut. For best results in wood, drill a small pilot hole first.
3. Are these screws fully threaded?
Yes – all screws in this range are fully threaded from under the head (or from the top for countersunk) to the tip, giving you maximum thread engagement.
4. Will the nickel plating rust? Can I use these screws outdoors?
Nickel plating provides good corrosion resistance for indoor use and occasional light outdoor exposure. For continuous outdoor or marine use, we recommend stainless steel screws. For electronics, furniture, and appliances, nickel‑plated screws are perfectly adequate.
5. What Phillips screwdriver size do I need for M1.2 to M4?
For M1.2–M2.5, use a #000 or #00 Phillips. For M3–M4, a #0 or #1 works. Always use a driver that fits snugly to avoid cam‑out and head damage.
6. Do you offer other lengths beyond 12mm?
This listing focuses on short lengths (3‑12mm). For longer screws, please check our store or contact us – we may have them in other listings.
