Tek Screws From Construction Fasteners and Tools

Your time is a valuable asset. Tek screws can help you save time when fastening in volume. The pointed end of a tek screw pierces material easily, allowing for secure and efficient fastening.

Every application has different requirements. At Construction Fasteners and Tools, our inventory includes over 200 different types of tek screws, so you can find the product that will best meet your project requirements. Choose tek screws of the ideal:

• Size: We offer tek screws in a range of diameters and lengths. Our shortest tek screws measure 1/2 inch long, while our longest screws measure 7 inches long.
• Finish: A fastener's finish affects its performance and longevity in various conditions. For example, some finishes like stainless steel can help a tek screw resist corrosion. We offer tek screws with stainless steel, zinc, Stalgard® and RUSPRO® protective coatings.
• Head: The head type of a tek screw determines what tool you can use to drive the screw, as well as how the screw will sit against the surface it's fastened to. Choose from flat, hex, oval, pan, pancake and wafer types.
• Quantity: Some projects require hundreds of screws, while others need just a few. We let you buy tek screws in bulk or purchase them individually to get the exact quantities you need.

Our knowledgeable staff can help you select the right tek screw for your application. If you have a specific screw in mind and don't see it in our inventory, let us know and we can source it for you. To make purchasing fasteners more affordable, we offer free shipping across Canada on orders over $99 and under 40 pounds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tek Screws

1. What Are Tek Screws Used For?

Because tek screws eliminate the need to drill a pilot hole in most situations, these fasteners find use in a range of industries and applications. The sharp tip of a tek screw can cut through metal, wood and composites.

2. What Does Tek Mean for Screws?

"Tek" is simply one name for a self-drilling screw. These screws come with drill tips of various shapes and lengths.

3. What Are Tek 5 Screws?

Tek screws are numbered 1 through 5 based on the length of the flute, which is the part of the screw that determines how thick a material the screw can drill into. Tek 5 screws have the longest drill tips of any tek screws.

4. How Do You Drill a Tek Screw?

To drill a tek screw, you will need an electric screwdriver or drill. You can choose to drill a pilot hole like you would for another type of screw or depend on the tek screw's self-tapping functionality. To help drive the tek screw into the surface of the material at a straight angle, drill as slowly as possible. Continue driving the tek screw until it is tight, but avoid over-tightening, as this can make the fastener difficult to remove.
