TEKS screws are engineered with a unique tip that allows them to drill their own hole as they are driven into materials. This self-drilling feature eliminates the need for pre-drilling, making installation faster and more efficient. The importance of this characteristic cannot be overstated, as it significantly reduces labor time and increases productivity on job sites.

What Are Expanding Plastic Screw Anchors?

2. Hardened Tek Screws Made from specially treated steel, these screws are designed for heavy-duty applications. Their hardened design provides enhanced durability and resistance against shear forces, making them perfect for structural connections.

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.
