The primary advantage of self-drilling anchors lies in their efficiency. Traditional anchor installation methods often require multiple steps, including drilling, cleaning the hole, and inserting the anchor. In contrast, self-drilling anchors combine these functions into one, reducing time, labor, and overall project costs. This makes them particularly advantageous for projects where time is of the essence or where access to drilling equipment is limited.

The black coating on these screws adds an additional layer of utility. Typically, this coating is a form of zinc plating or a powder coat finish, which serves two primary purposes. Firstly, it enhances the screw's corrosion resistance, protecting it from rust and wear, especially in outdoor or humid conditions. Secondly, the black color offers a sleek, unobtrusive appearance, making it suitable for applications where a discreet fastener is desired.

EPDM, a synthetic rubber, is known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and numerous chemicals, making it an ideal material for manufacturing washers used in fastening systems. The addition of a washer to a fastener significantly enhances its functionality by distributing the load evenly, preventing damage to the mating surfaces, and ensuring a tight seal. The EPDM washer, with its resilient nature, adds an extra layer of protection against leaks and environmental ingress.
