Self Tapping Screw

Self Tapping Screws are designed to create their own threads as they are driven into the material, therefore no pre-drilled holes are needed. These metal, wood, & plastic screws are perfect because they can cut through precise threads in wood, metal, or plastic and are tightly secure. As they fit precisely onto existing threads, they are particularly useful for applications where the units need to be frequently assembled or disassembled, examples include air conditioning units and canopies. Self-tapping screws are available with either a sharp, piercing tip or a flat, blunt tip, and they are especially useful when drilling into softer materials such as wood and plastic without the need for a pilot hole. 

The offered screws come in many head styles such as flat, pan, and hex, for the versatility of different applications. Because they can form tight, vibration-resistant connections, they are commonly used in applications where an appurtenance must be secured to the structure or pattern using vibration-resistant fasteners. These make it very easy and efficient, which goes a long way for their adoption in professional as well as DIY projects.
