A shear stud bolt is essentially a steel rod with a head on one end and a threaded end for anchorage. They are typically used in composite beams and floors where they act as connectors between the steel beam and the concrete slab. The term shear refers to the force that tends to slide one part of a structure over another, perpendicular to the direction of the force. In such scenarios, shear studs serve as a critical line of defense against these potentially damaging forces.

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.
