self drilling exterior wood screws

Chemical anchor bolts consist of two main components a threaded steel rod and a chemical resin cartridge. The rod is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the concrete, and the resin cartridge is placed inside the hole before the rod is inserted. Once the rod is fully inserted, the cartridge is activated by mixing its contents (usually a two-part epoxy) which causes the resin to expand and harden, securely gripping the surrounding concrete.

Hex head self-drilling screws are characterized by their hexagonal head, which allows them to be driven using a wrench or a socket, providing an excellent grip and making them easy to install. What sets them apart is their unique ability to drill into materials without the need for pre-drilling, thanks to their sharp, self-tapping points. This feature not only saves time but also reduces the need for additional drilling equipment, making the installation process more efficient.
