Choosing the Right Tek Screw For Your Project

Whether you’re working with electrical wires, installing roofing or any other heavy-duty project, tek screws are an invaluable tool that can save you time and effort. Tek screws are self-drilling fasteners that eliminate the need to drill pilot holes, and they come in a wide variety of sizes and finishes for almost any job.

When choosing a tek screw, you’ll want to pay attention to the drill point size as well as the head style. The drill point size is designated with a number from one through five, and the higher the number, the thicker the metal it can penetrate. The best way to determine the drill point size of a tek screw is by measuring the length of the flutes on the screw.

Another consideration is the screw finish. Different finishes are suitable for different projects and environments, and they help to protect the screw from corrosion and rust. We offer a variety of finishes for our tek screws, including zinc, galvanized and stainless steel. If you’re working with aluminum, we recommend using a stainless steel tek screw to avoid surface rust.

We also have hex drive tek screws for easy driving and pan head tek screws for use in low-profile applications.
