12 x 2-1/2 Hex Washer SDS
Overview
The 12 x 2-1/2 Hex Washer SDS (03303) is designed for self-drilling fastening applications in light gauge sheet metal and structural framing components.
This self-drilling screw — commonly referred to as a tek screw — features a drill-shaped point that cuts through the substrate on contact, eliminating the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. The hex washer head design provides a broad bearing surface and is compatible with standard hex driver bits and nut drivers, enabling secure, efficient installation across a wide range of assemblies.
