TEKS screws are engineered with a unique tip that allows them to drill their own hole as they are driven into materials. This self-drilling feature eliminates the need for pre-drilling, making installation faster and more efficient. The importance of this characteristic cannot be overstated, as it significantly reduces labor time and increases productivity on job sites.

Rubber washers are circular disks made from rubber or synthetic elastomers, often used to create a seal or cushion between two surfaces. When paired with hex head screws, these washers serve to enhance the effectiveness of the fastener by providing a barrier against moisture, dust, and other elements that can lead to degradation over time. This is particularly important in outdoor applications or environments where exposure to the elements is a concern.
