Hex Head

A hex head tek screw, also known as a hex head self-drilling screw, is a type of fastener designed for drilling its own hole and creating threads as it's driven into materials, typically metal or wood. It is characterized by its hexagonal (hex) head, which allows for easy installation with a wrench or socket tool. The key feature of a hex head tek screw is the self-drilling point, which eliminates the need for pre-drilling a hole. The screw's tip is designed to drill through the material while simultaneously tapping threads into it. This self-drilling capability makes hex head tek screws ideal for applications where traditional screws may not work because they require a pre-drilled hole. Hex head tek screws are commonly used in construction, roofing, metalworking, and other industries where a strong and secure connection is needed in various materials, particularly metal. They come in a range of sizes, materials, and finishes to suit different applications and environmental conditions. The hex head design allows for greater torque application and helps prevent slipping during installation.
