self threading screws for metal

The primary advantage of Stitch Tek screws lies in their exceptional holding power. The fine threading provides better penetration and grip, especially in dense materials like metal, wood, and composite boards. They are often used in applications requiring strong joints, such as in framing, roofing, and decking, where they can withstand immense loads without compromise. The robustness of Stitch Tek screws also makes them ideal for use in harsh environmental conditions, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance.
