What Are Self-Drilling Metal Screws?

14g Tek screws are self-drilling screws designed for fastening materials in various construction projects. The 14g denotes the gauge of the screw, which translates to a diameter of approximately 0.080 inches (2.3 mm). Tek screws are particularly known for their sharp, self-drilling points, which allow them to drill into materials without the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole.

2. Nails Though less common than screws, nails can also be used with chipboard. They provide quick assembly and are often used in projects where speed is essential. However, they may not offer the same holding power as screws, especially in load-bearing applications.

2. Heavy-Duty Nail Expansion Anchors Designed for more substantial loads, these anchors provide additional holding power. They are often used in industrial settings or for mounting heavy machinery.
