What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these self-tapping sheet metal screws for exceptional holding power and reliability when attaching wood to metal structures. Most report they drill cleanly through light-gauge and galvanized steel without pre-drilling, though thicker materials often require pilot holes. Reviewers highlight the hex-drive design, included bit, and sharp construction as standout features. A few experienced tap failures on very thick steel, but the vast majority consider them excellent quality and strong value. Overall, customers find them highly effective for metal-to-wood fastening when used appropriately.

Would RecommendI used these to fasten the 2x6x12 decking to my trailer. Had to predrill pilot holes because the self tapping screws wouldn’t self tapp. Also popped the heads off a couple of the screws Looks good but a bit concerned about dissimilar metals... aluminum screws in steel frame. It the screws start to break off I will refasten the boards with steel screws from the local trailer manufacturer.

Last resort only
Would Not RecommendI used these to re-deck a utility trailer. Lowe's hardware rep recommend them. I drilled pilot holes for each screw and still wound up using two screws for each hole as the first one would burn up before threading. In other words, I had to do twice the work and use twice as many screws as I should have. The only reason I give two stars is because I was able to complete the job.

Perfect for attaching 2x6 to a trailer frame
Would RecommendWorked good for what I needed. If going through thicker metal you will definitely need to predrill your hole

Good for a multitude of uses
Would RecommendThese work.great. Sometimes I miss the quality of American made products as these will break under heavier applications. But they start and work well enough for most applications and the self tapping aspect is very handy.
