Frequently asked questions

What are self‑tapping screws used for?

Self‑tapping screws are designed to cut their own thread as they’re driven, making them ideal for fastening into metal, plastics and thin materials without pre‑tapping.
What’s the difference between self‑tapping and self‑drilling screws?

Self‑tapping screws form their own thread but may require a pilot hole. Self‑drilling screws include a drill‑point tip that creates the hole and thread in one step.
Are stainless steel self‑tapping screws better for outdoor use?

Yes, stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor, marine or high‑moisture environments.

09803 Spare Grub Screw For Starrett A1 & A4 Arbor

One of the best shops in town. Lots of tools so beautifully arranged it reminds me of being a little boy in a toy shop. I have bought tools, tool storage, bolts, riv nuts, they even had a riv nut tool at a very respectable price on the shelf. Definitely a shop I will return to again & again.

Quality at a good price

Needed a pair of safety boots for a job I had to do at home taking a garden wall down. Went for the Utah's as they seemed suitable but weren't as expensive as other products I looked at. They are comfortable, well made and very good value for money.

I can't quite imagine how handy this will end up being in the workshop, and that's before I'm asked to blow up an inflatable bed for unexpected guests.
