Tek screws, also known as self-tapping screws, are designed with a drill point that allows them to create their own hole as they are driven into materials. This feature makes them incredibly versatile and efficient, particularly in metal and thin sheet applications. The 10 x 1 designation refers to specific dimensions and characteristics a 10 gauge screw with a 20 thread count and a length of 1 inch. These measurements highlight the screw’s robustness and its capability to provide significant holding power.

Another benefit of self-drilling screws is their resistance to corrosion. Many self-drilling screws are coated with materials such as zinc or stainless steel to protect them from rust and corrosion. This is particularly important when working with heavy steel components that are exposed to harsh weather conditions or corrosive environments. The corrosion-resistant coating ensures the longevity of the screws and helps maintain the integrity of the structures they are holding together.
