Metallics QKK1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lengths and quantities come in the Metallics QKK1 500-piece sheet metal screw kit?
The Metallics QKK1 kit holds 500 #8 self-piercing screws split across four lengths: 200 pieces at 1/2 inch, 50 at 3/4 inch, 100 at 1 inch, and 50 at 1-1/2 inch. It ships in a tray, and the order minimum is one kit.
2) Do I need to pre-drill before driving these #8 self-piercing screws into sheet metal?
No pre-drilling or pre-punching. The sharp point pierces thin metal on its own, and the twin lead thread cuts driving torque so the panel is less likely to dimple or tear. That is the point of a self-piercing screw versus a standard sheet metal screw that needs a pilot hole.
3) Does the Metallics QKK1 screw kit meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The QKK1 kit is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this kit will not satisfy it.
4) Can I drive the Metallics QKK1 screws with a hex driver, or do I need a screwdriver?
Either. The head is a hex with a slot cut in it, so a nut driver on the hex works for speed and a flat blade works where a driver will not fit. Hex width runs 0.244 to 0.25 inch, which a 1/4 inch nut driver takes. The slot is 0.045 to 0.054 inch wide and 0.052 to 0.074 inch deep.
5) Are these self-piercing screws suitable for electrical enclosures and HVAC duct, or just one trade?
Metallics lists the QKK1 kit for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical contractor work. Typical uses are panel and enclosure assembly, duct and equipment mounting, and mounting plumbing components to thin metal. One tray covers all three trades on a service truck.
6) Will zinc plated steel screws hold up in a damp mechanical room or outdoors?
These are AISI 1018-1022 steel with a zinc plating, which handles indoor and damp interior conditions like mechanical rooms and plenums. Zinc plating is a sacrificial coating, not stainless, so for sustained outdoor exposure, coastal air, or wet process areas a stainless or hot-dip fastener is the better call.
7) What thread pitch are these #8 self-piercing screws, and will they hold in thin gauge metal?
Thread count is 15 per inch on a #8 body. The sharp point with an undercut area below the head gives more thread engagement in the material, which is what develops holding power in thin sheet. In heavier structural steel you want a self-drilling screw rather than a self-piercing point.
8) How hard are the Metallics QKK1 screws, and will the heads snap off when driven with an impact driver?
Hardness is Rockwell C28-38. That range is case-hardened enough to pierce and thread thin gauge steel while keeping some ductility, so the screws are less prone to snapping than a fully hardened fastener. Driving slow and easing off at seating still matters on an impact tool.
9) Do the Metallics QKK1 screws have an integral washer head, and what is the bearing surface?
Yes, there is a washer under the hex head. Washer OD runs 0.322 to 0.348 inch with a thickness of 0.019 to 0.031 inch, so it spreads load over a wider footprint than a plain hex head, useful when fastening into thin panel where a bare head would pull through.
10) How big is the tray the Metallics QKK1 kit comes in, and will it fit a van drawer?
The tray measures 8 inches long by 4.62 inches wide by 1.25 inches high and the kit weighs 2.23 lbs, so it drops flat into a shallow van drawer or tool bag pocket with the lengths kept separated.
11) How do I order a single part number instead of the assortment?
The kit is sold under one model, QKK1, as a complete 500-piece assortment in the Metallics JQK series. There is no single-length option within it, so one line item gets you all four lengths.
