Finding an easier way to do things is always preferable. For any project, enough time and money is invested that finding a better solution can wind up saving both.
That is where a thread-tapping screw can wind up being a great option. Thread-cutting self-tapping screws can provide a litany of benefits you may not have been aware of.
Durability
At the top of the list of reasons to go with thread-cutting self-tapping screws is the durability that they can provide. Not only do they hold up better to corrosion and rust, but the surface of the screw will last longer, especially against the effects of weathering.
With enhanced durability comes greater longevity. It also reduces the risk of having to perform repairs or perform a complete rebuild on the project in question.
Less Prep Time
Another major reason to invest in thread-cutting self-tapping screws is that it can help to reduce your prep time. They don’t require any kind of pre-fixing or pre-drilling and the self-drilling can provide a more efficient performance than ever before. It ensures a durable, precise bond without any of the prep time that other fasteners might require.
The entire purpose of this type of screw is to cut or penetrate directly into the material in question. By doing so, it allows the user to skip any necessary pre-drilling, creating a tighter, more reliable thread that will hold up over the long term.
