FAQs

What are self-drilling collated screws used for?

Self-drilling (TEK) collated screws are used for fastening metal to metal without pre-drilling. They are commonly used in steel framing and sheet metal applications.

Can these screws drill through steel?

Yes. The TEK point is designed to drill through light gauge steel while forming threads in a single operation.

Are these compatible with Makita and DeWalt collated screw guns?

Yes, they are compatible with most Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee and Hilti collated screw systems that support plastic strip screws.

Do I need a special drill bit?

No drilling is required. A standard PH2 driver bit is typically used for installation.

What thickness of steel can these screws handle?

They are suitable for light gauge steel applications. For thicker steel, higher specification TEK screws may be required.
