Hardened steel is not a marketing word on a fastener. A hardened screw resists deforming under clamping load and resists the head rounding out when it is tightened properly, which matters most on the joints you will need to undo again.
These are M8 x 25mm with a flat head for flush mounting, made from hardened high-strength steel and supplied ten to a pack. The longer length suits joints where the parts being clamped are thicker than a single bracket.
The failure people notice is a rounded drive. It happens when a soft fastener is tightened to the torque the joint needs, the drive recess deforms slightly, and the next time you go to undo it the tool slips. Once that has happened the screw has to be drilled out.
Hardened steel resists that, which is why it is worth using on anything that will be adjusted or removed more than once. A pack of ten is enough to do a pedal deck or a wheel mount and keep spares. Fit them with a flat washer under the nut side, and use the aluminium chassis rigs mounting points rather than drilling new ones. They sit in the racing simulator accessories range next to the plain hex heads.
"Buy hardened for anything you expect to take apart again. The cost difference is trivial and the difference the first time a screw does not round out is not. Pedal plates and wheel mounts get adjusted constantly, so that is where these belong."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
