20mm chipboard screws typically feature a coarse thread, which allows for quick penetration into the board without causing excessive strain on the material. Their length, 20 millimeters, is ideal for most applications, providing ample depth for secure fixing without protruding through the other side. The sharp point at the tip ensures easy entry into the board, while the Phillips or Pozidriv head offers a secure grip for the driver bit, reducing the chances of slippage during installation.

A tek screw, also known as self-drilling screw, is equipped with a drill-like point that allows it to create its pilot hole as it is driven into materials. This eliminates the need for pre-drilling, which can streamline the construction process significantly.

However, the specific meaning of 5 often involves manufacturer specifications or industry standards, allowing for slight variations in size and application based on regional or production practices.
