Technical Usage
These screws are designed to simplify fastening tasks by combining a drill bit tip with a threaded body, eliminating the need for separate drilling and screwing. Their round or pan head ensures strong clamping force and is suitable for applications requiring a prominent, smooth head finish, such as electrical fixtures, panel installations, and equipment assembly. The stainless steel construction ensures long-lasting performance, even in harsh or corrosive environments, making them a preferred choice for both indoor and outdoor use.
