-
Steel Thickness (Gauge): Use short drill points for light-gauge studs and long drill points for heavy structural steel.
-
Head Style: Hex washer heads for structural strength, or low-profile wafer/pancake heads for panel work.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Select coated or stainless steel screws for outdoor, coastal, or high-moisture environments.
-
Screw Length & Diameter: Ensure proper penetration into both layers of steel for maximum holding power.
