Product Description

Self tapping screws are pretty simple. You drive them into a hole and they cut their own thread as they go. No need to tap the hole first. That saves time on the assembly line.

How They Work

The tip has cutting edges that dig into the material. The thread grabs the walls of the hole and holds tight. No pre tapped hole needed. Just drill a pilot hole and drive the screw in.

Self Tapping Screws Mechanism

Head Styles

Flat Head

Flat head screws sit flush with the surface. The head sinks in so you get a smooth finish. Good for finished panels where you don't want screws sticking out.

Wafer Head

Wafer head screws have a low wide head. They don't stick up much but give you good clamping pressure. You see these a lot on pocket holes and sheet metal work.

Pan Head

Pan head screws are the standard domed head. Works for most general assembly jobs.

Head Styles Overview

Thread Types

Fine Thread

Fine thread screws grip better in thin metal and hard plastic. More threads per inch means harder to pull out.

Coarse Thread

Coarse thread screws are for softer stuff like wood and plastic. They bite in faster.

Fine thread screws have more threads per inch, providing higher pull-out resistance in thin metal and hard plastic. Coarse thread screws are designed for softer materials such as wood and soft plastics to bite and drive in faster.
