RS PRO Self-Drilling Screw

From the trusted RS PRO brand, these zinc plated steel self-drilling screws offer all the advantages associated with standard self-tapping screws but are capable of drilling their own pilot holes into sheet metal as well as softer materials. As they have a pan head they offer great surface retention between the screw and the surface material. They also feature a posidriv head for excellent torque while driving.

This self-drilling screw features a robust hardened steel drill point.

Applications

Self-drilling screws, sometimes confused with self-tapping screws, have advantages over conventional screws in that they eliminate the need to drill a pilot hole before insertion. This can save both time and effort in many fastening applications, while delivering the same security and versatility of a conventional screw. Self-drilling screws should always be installed using a power-driver and are therefore particularly suited to fast production environments. They can be used in light and heavy gauge sheet metals, soft plastics etc, and are ideal for applications in heating and air conditioning, metal and fiberglass fabrication industries.
