Self-tapping screws are an essential component in the DIY and industrial world. These screws, as the name suggests, create their own thread while being screwed in. They are ideal for use in soft materials such as plastic and sheet metal, where the thread can be easily formed.
Self-tapping screws are characterised by a sharp point, sharp edges and cavities that can mask the corresponding thread, removing material from the surface into which they are screwed. **Self-tapping screws require a pilot hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw to enable them to be screwed into metal sheets.
Self-tapping screws are available in a variety of sizes, lengths and head types, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether you are assembling furniture, fixing electronic components or working on a construction project, self-tapping screws can simplify your work.
