Metal expansion nuts, often referred to as expansion anchors or expansion inserts, are specialized fasteners that expand when a bolt or screw is threaded into them. They typically consist of a cylindrical body with slits along its length or an expandable design that facilitates outward expansion. The main purpose of these nuts is to create a secure grip within a substrate, such as concrete, wood, or metal, thereby preventing loosening due to vibrational forces, temperature fluctuations, or stress.

The key feature of long self-drilling screws lies in their unique. Unlike conventional screws, they possess a sharp point and a series of cutting edges that cut through material like a drill bit. This makes them ideal for use in a wide range of materials, from wood to metal, plastic, and even composite materials. Their length, often extending beyond the standard size, enables them to penetrate deeper into substrates, providing superior holding power and structural integrity.
