About Self tapping Screws
- A self-tapping screw is a screw that can tap its own hole as it is driven into the material.
- Some self-tapping screws are also self-drilling, which means that, in addition to the tap-like flute in the leading threads, there is also a preliminary drill-like fluted tip that looks much like the tip of a center drill.
- The screws in this sale are not "Self Drilling" and do require a pilot hole for a thick gauge material
