Self drilling screws, also known as ADS screws, are a commonly used type of threaded fastener. The tail end of the screw has a drill bit-like structure that can automatically drill holes, cut threads, and complete fastening when screwed into the material.
Drill screws are different from self-tapping screws, they are highly efficient fasteners that can be directly driven into thin metals, wood, and composite materials without the need for pre-drilling. They combine the functions of a drill bit, tap, and screw. In steel structure engineering, they achieve the lightest load and fastest cutting speed.
