This product description refers to a specific type of fastener with the following characteristics:

• Material: Carbon Steel – This indicates the primary material of the screw, chosen for its strength and durability.
• Finish: Zinc Plated – The carbon steel has a zinc coating, which provides corrosion resistance, helping to protect the screw from rust and extending its lifespan, especially in moderately corrosive environments.
• Type of Head: Eye Hook – The screw features an “eye” or a loop at one end instead of a typical drive head (like Phillips or Torx). This loop allows for the attachment of ropes, cables, chains, or other hanging objects.
• Thread Type: Tapping Thread – This suggests a self-tapping thread design, meaning the screw can cut its own threads into the material as it is driven in. This is typically used for applications where pre-drilling a pilot hole is common, but no pre-tapped hole exists.
• Alternative Thread Type: Machine Thread – This part seems to present two somewhat contradictory thread types (“Tapping Eye Hook Screw with Machine Thread”). A “Machine Thread” implies a uniform, non-tapered thread designed to mate with a pre-tapped hole of the same diameter and pitch, or with a nut. It does not cut its own threads. It’s possible this product is available in *both* tapping and machine thread versions, or there might be an intended hyphenation like “Tapping Eye-Hook Screw with Machine-Thread Body” meaning the hooking end is tapping but the main shaft is machine thread (which is less common for an eye hook). Assuming it’s a clarification or alternative, it’s crucial to specify which thread type is actually sold. If it’s *with* machine thread, then it’s not a tapping screw in the traditional sense, but designed to go into a pre-threaded hole.

Common Applications (depending on the specific thread type):

• With Tapping Thread: Primarily used in wood or softer plastics where a strong anchor point is needed for hanging without the need for a pre-drilled, threaded hole. Could also be used in light gauge sheet metal.
• With Machine Thread: Used with nuts or in pre-tapped holes in metal, rigid plastics, or other materials where a secure threaded connection is required for hanging or securing components. This is common in machinery, electrical enclosures, or structural framing.

Key Features:

• Versatile Hanging Point: The eye hook design provides a convenient attachment point.
• Corrosion Resistance: Zinc plating offers protection against rust.
• Strength: Carbon steel construction ensures a robust fastener.
• Installation (specific to thread type):
  • Tapping thread allows for direct insertion into materials, forming its own threads.
  • Machine thread requires a pre-tapped hole or a nut for installation.
