3. Application Consider the type of project you are working on. For furniture that will bear weight, such as shelves or cabinets, opt for screws or dowels that provide a strong and durable connection.

Self-drilling screws, also known as Tek screws or self-tapping screws, are engineered with a drill bit tip that allows them to penetrate materials without the need for a separate drilling operation. This feature is particularly advantageous when working with thick steel, as it reduces the time required for assembly and helps ensure a secure, tight fit.

3. Enhanced Performance The design facilitates even load distribution, reducing the risk of material deformation around the fastened area and ensuring a durable assembly.
