2’Self Drilling Screw Hex

” is a specific type of screw commonly used in construction and metalworking applications. Here’s what each component refers to:

1. Self-Drilling: Self-drilling screws, also known as Tek screws or self-tapping screws, have a unique feature that allows them to create their own pilot hole as they are driven into the material. This eliminates the need for pre-drilling holes, saving time and effort during installation. The self-drilling capability is particularly useful in materials like metal or wood.
2. Hex: The term “hex” refers to the shape of the screw’s head. A hex head has six flat sides arranged in a hexagonal shape. This design allows the screw to be driven or removed using a wrench or socket tool with a hexagonal socket. The hex head provides better torque transmission and reduces the likelihood of slipping or stripping compared to other head types like Phillips or slotted.
