Pan Phllips SDS Screw

About Pan Phllips SDS Screw

Pan head Phillips self-drilling screws (SDS) are a type of screw designed for drilling their own pilot hole and creating threads simultaneously in various materials, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. The "pan head" refers to the screw head's shape, which is slightly rounded with a flat bearing surface, offering a good balance between clamping force and a clean finish. The "Phillips" drive indicates the type of recess in the screw head, which is designed to be driven by a Phillips screwdriver. These screws are commonly used in metal-to-metal and metal-to-wood applications, especially in sheet metal fabrication, roofing, and cladding.
