Light Self Drilling Screws

For fixing light gauge sheet metal, thin-walled steel sections, and metal-to-metal connections in HVAC, cladding, and light fabrication work without pre-drilling, a light self-drilling screw (or light Tek screw) is the fast, reliable solution. At the DIY Hardware Store, our light self-drilling screws cover the small-diameter, fine-point drill-tip screws used in light sheet metal work, metal stud partitioning, and suspended ceiling grid installations.

Light self-drilling screws have a smaller, more refined drill point than their heavy counterparts - calibrated for the thinner gauge materials they're designed to penetrate. They're the standard fastener for connecting metal studs to top and bottom tracks in partition wall systems, for fastening plasterboard to metal stud framing, and for light sheet metal fabrication where materials are too thin for a standard Tek point without breakthrough on the first revolution.

Available in standard lengths and diameters for metal stud partition and light fabrication work at the DIY Hardware Store.
