The self-drilling tip, which distinguishes these screws from standard screws, allows them to penetrate through various materials, including metal and wood, without pre-drilling. This feature is particularly advantageous when working with thinner gauge metals or materials where traditional drilling would be cumbersome or time-consuming. As a result, projects can proceed more smoothly, with fewer tools and less disruption.
