Self-tapping screws without a drill bit

Self-tapping screws without a drill bit are fasteners with a sharp point. Their appearance can vary: heads may be round, countersunk or hexagonal. Some self-tapping screws come with a pressed washer and a rubber gasket included.

Self-tapping screws without a drill bit are loosely divided into several categories:

• for drywall;
• for metal;
• for wood;
• for general work;
• for connecting metal profiles.

Most self-tapping screws are made of carbon steel. A zinc coating is often applied, which protects the products from corrosion and allows them to be used for outdoor work.

How to use

Regardless of the application, all sharp-pointed self-tapping screws are installed the same way. First, a smaller-diameter hole must be drilled, then the self-tapping screw is driven in with a screwdriver or power drill.
