What Customers Are Saying
These self-tapping wood-to-metal screws have received mixed reviews. Many customers found them effective for securing wood to metal frames, praising their durability and strong holding power. However, a significant number reported issues such as stripping, not self-tapping as expected, and requiring pre-drilling, especially with thicker or harder metals. The Phillips head design was also noted as prone to stripping. The reviews suggest these screws may work well for some applications but may require extra effort or modifications to use effectively, particularly with tougher metal materials.

Great product
Liked the fact I was able to use these screws without my magnetic bit, which I had misplaced. Drilled quickly into the metal purling to secure the boards on the picket fence we were building. What I didn’t like but not a dealbreaker was the surface area of the screwhead. I had used another brand which had a wider surface contact on the board.
