Bulk Loose Self-Drilling Screws

Self-Drilling Screws for Fastening Wood to Metal

These self-drilling screws feature winged tips that bore through wood and clear the path before engaging metal, ensuring clean holes and tight connections. Designed to prevent wood splitting and eliminate the need for pre-drilling, they’re ideal for framing, decking, and other wood-to-metal applications where strength and speed matter.
Self-Drilling Screws with Seemingly Unlimited Options

Our self-drilling screws come in a wide range of options to tackle everything from metal-to-metal and wood-to-metal fastening to interior framing and exterior cladding. Choose from multiple head styles, drive types, and corrosion-resistant finishes like zinc, galvanized, ceramic-coated, and stainless steel, each built for strength, speed, and long-term performance.
The Right Point for Every Project

Different point types pierce various materials. Standard points handle light- to medium-gauge metal, long points tackle thicker steel, self-piercing points work well in wood or thin metal and winged points clear softer layers before drilling harder substrates, ensuring faster, cleaner and secure installations.
