FAQ on metal screws
What are metal screws used for?
Metal screws are designed to fasten metal parts together or attach metal to other materials like wood or plastic. Their sharp threads provide a secure grip, making them ideal for construction, repairs, and DIY projects.
What is a sheet metal screw?
A sheet metal screw has a sharp tip and self-tapping threads that can pierce and hold thin metal sheets without the need for pre-drilling. They’re perfect for ducts, panels, and metal siding.
Can I use metal screws on wood?
Yes, but it’s best to pre-drill the holes to prevent splitting. For wood-only applications, consider using wood screws instead — they’re designed with different threading for better grip.
