Product Description

What Are Self Tapping Screws
Screws that tap their own hole as you drive them in. No need to thread the hole beforehand. Just drill a pilot hole and drive.
When To Use Them
Any job where speed matters. Assembly lines. Field repairs. Quick fixes. If you are spending time tapping holes by hand these will speed you up.
Head Styles We Carry
Flat head: sinks into the wood or metal. Ends up flush with the surface. Good for finished work where you do not want screws sticking out.
Wafer head: is low and wide. Clamps down hard but does not stand up tall. Popular for pocket holes and thin sheet metal.
Pan head: is the everyday standard. Domed top flat bottom. Works for most jobs.
Drive Types
Phillips: is the cross shape. Everyone has a Phillips screwdriver. Works fine for most work.
Allen head: has a hex hole inside. Use a hex key. You can tighten these harder without stripping the head.
Thread Choices
Fine thread: has more threads per inch. Holds better in thin metal and harder plastics. Resists pulling out.
Coarse thread: bites faster. Better for softer materials like wood and regular plastic.
Material Options
Stainless steel: does not rust. Good outdoors or anywhere wet.
Brass: looks nice. Does not rust. Not magnetic. Good for electronics or anywhere appearance matters.
Galvanized: has a zinc coating. Decent rust protection for the price.
Black oxide: has a matte black look. Mostly for indoor use.
Sizes Available
Metric M2 M3 M4 M5 M6. Lengths from 6mm up to 50mm. Custom sizes if you need something different.
Real World Applications
Electronics enclosures. Wood furniture assembly. Trailer flooring. Plastic junction boxes. HVAC duct work. Automotive trim. Signs and displays. General factory assembly.
One More Thing
No pre tapping means you save time. Less tools needed. Fewer steps per screw. If you are doing high volume assembly these will cut your labor cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to drill a pilot hole before using self-tapping screws?
Yes, drilling a proper pilot hole is recommended to ensure precise alignment and prevent material from cracking, especially when fastening into hardwoods or denser metals.
Q: What is the primary difference between fine and coarse thread screws?
Fine thread screws feature more threads per inch and are optimal for thin metal and hard plastics to resist pull-out. Coarse threads bite faster and provide superior hold in softer materials like wood.
Q: Which material option should be selected for outdoor environments?
Stainless steel is the best choice for exterior applications and humid environments because it provides superior corrosion and rust resistance.
Q: What are the advantages of an Allen head over a Phillips head?
An Allen (hex) drive allows significantly higher torque application during fastening without stripping the head, whereas Phillips heads are universal and easier to match with standard tooling.
Q: Are custom fastener sizes and bulk wholesale orders supported?
Yes, standard sizes range from M2 through M6 (lengths 6mm to 50mm), and non-standard custom specifications can be manufactured along with bulk pricing options.
Q: What quality standards are maintained for these self-tapping screws?
Every batch goes through strict quality control, including thread gauge verification, hardness testing, and optical inspections to ensure Class 4.8 and 6.8 compliance.
