The M16 designation refers to the diameter of the bolt shank, which is 16 millimeters. This size makes the M16 anchor bolt an ideal choice for medium to heavy loads, commonly found in construction projects such as installations of steel beams, heavy machinery, or outdoor structures. M16 chemical anchors typically have a minimum tensile strength exceeding 20 kN, making them robust enough for demanding applications.

These screws typically feature a sharp point and an aggressive thread design that enables efficient penetration into metals, plastics, and wood. The unique combination of features makes wafer head reamer self-drilling screws highly versatile and effective in various applications.

1. Use the Right Tools To optimize performance, utilize a high-torque electric drill or impact driver to install Tek screws in thick steel. This will ensure that the screws penetrate correctly without stripping the heads.
