5. Ease of Installation Designed for use with power tools, self-drilling screws can be installed quickly and with minimal effort. This efficiency is particularly advantageous in time-sensitive projects.

Rivets are permanent fasteners that join materials by means of a mechanical interlock. They consist of a cylindrical shaft with a head at one end and are installed by deforming the unheaded end after insertion. Rivets are commonly used in structural applications such as bridges and aircraft, where a high level of strength is critical. There are different types of rivets, including solid rivets, blind rivets, and tubular rivets. Blind rivets, also known as pop rivets, can be installed from one side of the workpiece, making them ideal for applications where access to both sides is limited.

The integration of bracing systems offers numerous benefits

1. Enhanced Torque and Grip The hexagonal shape provides a larger surface area for the driving tool, reducing the chances of slippage and allowing for higher torque application. This is especially beneficial when working with dense materials where traditional screws might struggle.
