Self-Tapping Screws vs Self-Drilling Screws

Self-tapping screws form or cut threads in a suitable material; depending on the screw design and substrate, a correctly sized pilot hole may be required. Self-drilling screws have an integrated drill point designed for specified material thicknesses and may drill and fasten in a single operation. They should not be treated as interchangeable solely because both can be used in sheet-metal work.

For roofing and purlin applications requiring a drill point, see our Self-Drilling Screws page. For a clearer technical distinction, read the Self-Drilling vs Self-Tapping Screws guide.
