These screws eliminate the need to pre-drill holes in wood and thin metal. Self-drilling screws use a pointed, drill bit-like end to punch through soft material. They are fully threaded when under 3" long. they come with various point styles (1 through 5 are the most common) eliminating the need for a pilot hole. Some can drill through a 1/2" of solid steel to attach a secondary sheet of metal together with the first. (When going through non-metal material, a pilot hole is still necessary.) We suggest a small pilot hole if joining two dissimilar types of metal to prevent the thinner sheet from riding up.

We stock over a many different head styles (round, truss, flat, oval, truss, pan, hex washer, just to name a few) with dozens of drive styles (Phillips, slotted, 6-lobe, star, Torx(R), square, pin-in, just to name some). They are often sold using the brand name Teks(R) and we can offer brand-name Teks(R) screws upon request.
