Metallics SE10 Screw Eyes 1-1/8 X 8 St-zn (Box 25)

The SE10 is a 1-1/8 x 8 screw eye, zinc plated steel. The 8 is the screw gauge and 1-1/8 is the overall screw length, so it is a short, light-duty eye for wood anchoring rather than a long lag-style eye.

Yes, that is the usual job for it. The SE10 is carried as an electrical fastener and a 1-1/8 inch wood screw eye is what electricians and maintenance crews use to pick up messenger wire, drop cords, low voltage cable and light suspended loads off joists or wood framing. It threads into wood only, so for concrete or steel deck you need an anchor or a beam clamp instead.

The SE10 screw eye ships 25 to a box, so one box covers a small run of hanging points without ordering bulk quantities.

It is steel with a zinc plating, which handles normal indoor and protected areas fine. For wet exterior exposure or corrosive environments, step up to a stainless or hot dip galvanized eye instead, since zinc plating is a thin sacrificial coating.

Yes. Order against Metallics part number SE10, which is the 1-1/8 x 8 zinc plated steel screw eye sold by the 25 count box. There is one configuration, so no finish or size suffix to specify.

In most softwood you can start it by hand and finish with a screwdriver shank or nail through the eye for leverage. In hardwood, drill a pilot slightly smaller than the #8 shank so the eye does not twist open or snap. The 1-1/8 inch length means you only need about an inch of sound wood behind the surface.
