Wafer Head Self-Drilling Screws
Precision Fastening for Metal & Drywall
Wafer head self-drilling screws are high-performance fasteners designed for quick and secure fastening in metal, drywall, and thin sheet applications. Their self-drilling tip eliminates the need for pre-drilling, reducing installation time and effort. The wide wafer head provides a larger bearing surface, ensuring better grip and stability.
✅ Self-Drilling Tip – No need for pre-drilling, enabling faster and easier installation.
✅ Low-Profile Wafer Head – Provides aesthetic finish and prevents material damage.
✅ Corrosion-Resistant Coating – Available in zinc-plated, phosphate-coated, and stainless steel options.
✅ High Holding Strength – Ensures a secure grip on thin metal sheets and drywall.
✅ Multiple Sizes Available – Suitable for various thicknesses and applications.

1. What is the advantage of a wafer head over other screw types?
The wafer head provides a wider bearing surface, reducing the risk of material damage and ensuring a flush finish.
2. Can wafer head self-drilling screws be used in wood?
They are primarily designed for metal-to-metal and drywall-to-metal applications, but they can also be used in light-duty wood applications.
3. What are the available coatings for corrosion resistance?
We offer zinc-plated, black phosphate, and stainless steel (SS 410) options to protect against rust and corrosion.
4. What is the difference between self-tapping and self-drilling screws?
Self-drilling screws have a drill-like tip, eliminating the need for pre-drilling, whereas self-tapping screws require a pre-drilled hole for threading.
5. Do you offer bulk orders and custom sizes?
Yes! We supply bulk orders and custom sizes to meet your specific project needs.
