Description

Maximum Torque, Zero Slip

When driving fasteners into tough sheet metal, standard Phillips or slotted drives can easily slip out (cam-out) under heavy pressure, damaging the screw head or scratching your workpiece. The solid hexagon head on these self-tapping screws solves that problem entirely. By using a standard hex socket or a magnetic nut setter, your tool grips the outside of the fastener, providing a massive surface area for torque transfer. You can safely apply significantly more rotational force, making these screws ideal for heavy-duty structural assemblies and high-speed manufacturing.

Precision Tapping with AB Points

The Type AB point is the industry standard for joining thin sheet metal, resin, and brittle plastics. It combines a sharp, gimlet point with fine, closely spaced threads. After drilling a suitably sized pilot hole, the sharp tip catches the edge of the material instantly. As the screw is driven home, the hardened steel threads act like a mechanical tap, carving a perfectly matched mating path directly into the substrate. This creates a secure, custom-fit friction lock that won't easily vibrate loose over time.

Reliable BZP Protection

Manufactured from high-strength hardened steel, these screws are built to handle the rigorous demands of professional fabrication. To protect the core material, they are coated in a Bright Zinc Plating (BZP). This clean, silver-coloured finish acts as a sacrificial barrier against oxidation, keeping your indoor assemblies, HVAC ducting, and internal automotive panels rust-free and structurally sound for years to come.

Key Features

  • Single-Sided Assembly: Perfect for blind holes or enclosed box sections where you cannot access the back of the material to fit a nut.
  • Slip-Free Driving: The six flat sides of the hex head ensure a secure tool grip, making them highly preferred for automated or high-speed impact driving.
  • Type AB Thread: Features a sharp locating point and finer threads compared to standard Type A screws, providing superior grip and reducing the risk of tearing thin materials.
  • Durable Steel Core: Hardened construction ensures the screw can withstand the intense friction and torque required to tap directly into metal substrates.
  • Trade Pack Size: Supplied in heavy-duty boxes of 100 pieces, perfect for keeping your work van or workshop fully stocked for the week ahead.
