SELF DRILLING TEK SCREWS
A self-drilling Tek screw, also known as a self-tapping screw or self-piercing screw, is a type of fastener designed for drilling its own hole while being driven into materials such as metal, wood, or plastic. It combines the functions of a drill bit and a screw in a single unit.
Key features of a self-drilling Tek screw include:
Drill Point: It has a specially designed point at the tip of the screw that can cut into the material, eliminating the need to pre-drill a hole. This feature is particularly useful when working with metals like steel or aluminum.
Threads: As the screw penetrates the material, it also forms threads, providing a secure grip and holding the parts together.
Hex Washer Head: Many self-drilling Tek screws have a hexagonal head with a built-in washer. This head design allows for easy installation with a socket wrench or a screwdriver.
Self-drilling Tek screws are commonly used in construction, metal framing, roofing, HVAC systems, and other applications where fastening metal to metal or metal to wood is required. They save time and effort by eliminating the need for drilling pilot holes before inserting the screw, making them a convenient choice for various projects.
