Allen Socket Head Cap Self Tapping Wood Screw

Socket Tapping screw is a screw with a thread diameter of 2.6mm that self-taps when it is driven into a material. For softer substrates such as wood or soft plastics, the self-tapping capability can be achieved simply by tapering the tip to a drill point (no grooves required). Like a nail or drill point, such a tip forms a hole by displacement of the surrounding material rather than any chip-forming drilling/cutting/evacuation action.

• Hex wrench to prevent screwdriver from slipping and damaging your driver
• Cap head screws give your installations a neat, professional look
• The stainless steel material resists corrosion and chips
• Self-tapping threads eliminate the need for a pilot hole

Stainless steel does not corrode, rust or stain as easily as regular steel. However, it is not completely stain-proof in environments with low oxygen, high salinity or poor air circulation. Stainless steel is available in different grades and surface finishes to suit the environment the alloy must withstand. Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and corrosion resistance are required. Stainless steel contains enough chromium to form a passive film of chromium oxide that prevents further surface corrosion by blocking the diffusion of oxygen to the steel surface and stops corrosion from spreading to the metal’s internal structure. Passivation only occurs when the proportion of chromium is high enough and oxygen is present.

Cylinder Headed for Wood/Plastic Mounting Tapping Screw feature of these screws allows for easy installation without the need for pre-drilled holes, making them an ideal choice for quick repairs or DIY projects. The hex socket drive style ensures compatibility with a variety of tools, making installation a breeze. Additionally, the customization option caters to specific requirements, ensuring that you have the perfect screw for your project.
