Self-drilling screws, often referred to as Tek screws, are equipped with a drill bit-like tip that enables them to drill through metal and other hard materials. These screws are typically made from high-strength materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel, which grant them exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. Self-drilling screws come in various sizes and lengths, suitable for different applications, from roofing and siding to metal framing and vehicle construction.

A tek screw, also known as self-drilling screw, is equipped with a drill-like point that allows it to create its pilot hole as it is driven into materials. This eliminates the need for pre-drilling, which can streamline the construction process significantly. The 5 designation typically refers to specific measurement protocols related to the screw's dimensions and strength characteristics. However, the specific meaning of 5 often involves manufacturer specifications or industry standards, allowing for slight variations in size and application based on regional or production practices.

steel post bracing. This type of bracing helps to distribute lateral forces evenly throughout the structure, reducing the risk of localized failure and ensuring the overall stability of the building. Cross bracing is often used in industrial buildings, warehouses, and other large structures where lateral forces are a significant concern.
