Both the 5% and 16% self-drilling screws offer several advantages over traditional drilling and fastening methods. First and foremost, these screws eliminate the need for separate drilling equipment, saving time and reducing labor costs. By combining the drilling and fastening processes into one step, self-drilling screws streamline the installation process and improve overall efficiency. Additionally, the self-drilling feature minimizes the risk of splitting or damaging the workpiece, resulting in a cleaner and more professional finish.

With their ease of use, 2-inch self-drilling screws can also contribute to reduced labor costs. By speeding up the installation process, fewer labor hours are required to complete a project. This efficiency can lead to significant savings, particularly in large-scale construction endeavors. Furthermore, with fewer tools needed—thanks to the elimination of pre-drilling—there is less reliance on multiple laborers to manage different aspects of the fastening process.

Aircraft structural fasteners play a critical role in ensuring the safety and reliability of modern aircraft. These small but essential components are responsible for holding together various parts of the aircraft, including fuselage sections, wings, and tail structures. Given the extreme conditions that aircraft operate under, such as high speeds, varying temperatures, and intense vibrations, it is imperative that the fasteners used in the construction of aircraft are of the highest quality and reliability.
