Hide Product Description

Teks screws, also known as self drilling screws, drill their own hole in thin sheet metal, heavier gauge metals and other materials, then form close mating threads in the hole. The Teks screw is ideal for automated assembly and reduces or eliminates the need for drill bits or taps.

Once the hole is drilled, Teks screws (self drilling screws) tap the hole in the same way as thread forming or thread cutting screws do in a pre-drilled hole. They are also designed to eliminate paint build-up, weld flash, or foreign material that may occur in pre-drilled or pre-punched holes.

InStock Fasteners' Teks screws come in six head styles: pan, flat, bugle, truss, indented hex, and indented hex washer. There are two points, Type 2 and the longer, sharper Type 3.
