Zinc plated hexagon self tapping screw
TO DIN 7504

Hex head self-drilling screws are purposely designed with a hexagonal head that allows for easy tightening with a screwdriver, drill or ratchets. They are designed to create threads as the screw is driven into the material which eliminates the need for pre-drilling and makes it particularly useful for fastening metal sheets or plastic. Depending on the fastening requirement, these screws are versatile in that there are different variations of materials and sizes, and are often used in construction, woodworking, automotive projects, and much more. The self-tapping design really streamlines the fastening process, making these types of screws popular in a range of professional industries as well as for DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists.
