Self Tapping Screws

Self-tapping screws, often referred to as self-tappers, are screws commonly used when fastening into metal or plastic. Sometimes, these are also incorrectly called self-tapping bolts.

The unique benefit of self-tapping screws is the fact that all that is required to insert a self-tapper is a pilot or punched hole to introduce the screw. The self-tapping screws form their own head as the screw is driven into position. This eliminates the need for predrilling, making them a great screw choice for fast and easy insertion.

Another unique benefit of self-tapping screws is that once they have been inserted, they may be removed and re-used.

We stock two types of self-tapping screws, pozidrive countersunk and pozidrive pan head. Both of these are stocked in Type AB.
