Description

When you’re working on tractors, implements, or shop projects, you need fasteners that’ll hold things together without breaking the budget or your trust. This 1/4-20 hex cap screw might be on the smaller side, but it’s built to handle real work. Whether you’re mounting brackets, securing panels, or assembling equipment, this Grade 5 screw gives you the reliability you need for lighter-duty connections.

What You’re Getting

Grade 5 steel that’s stronger than hardware store bolts but won’t cost like Grade 8
Zinc plating that fights off rust and corrosion from moisture and chemicals
Standard 1/4-20 threading that fits common nuts and threaded holes
Half-inch length that’s perfect for thinner materials and close-fitting applications

Built for Real Farm Work

This size screw shows up all over agricultural equipment—think control panels, light brackets, fender mounting, gauge clusters, and electrical box covers. You’ll find them holding together everything from tractor dashboards to implement shields. The 1/4-20 size is also popular for shop-built equipment and repairs where you need a clean, professional connection.

Made to Last

Grade 5 steel means this screw is about 25% stronger than standard Grade 2 hardware, giving you extra holding power without the premium price of Grade 8. The zinc coating protects against the moisture, fertilizer, and chemicals that make farm life tough on metal parts.

Good to Know

The hex head takes a 7/16 socket or wrench, and the 1/4-20 thread pitch is fine enough to hold securely without being a pain to start. When you’re threading into aluminum or softer metals, go easy on the final tightening—this grade of steel can strip softer threads if you get too aggressive with the torque.
