Autobar No.8 3/4 Inch Self Tapping Screws 8 Pack 8 Pack Black

Autobar 493 No.8 3/4 Self Tapping Screws 8 PackA self tapping screw, or colloquially referred to as a self tapper, cuts its own thread into the material as it is driven in rather than needing a pre-tapped hole or a separate nut like a bolt. The sharp point starts the hole and the thread that follows cuts a matching groove into the material, gripping tightly as it goes. This makes it well suited to sheet metal, plastic panels, and trim, where fitting a nut on the other side is impractical or impossible.This pack contains eight No.8 gauge screws, each 3/4 inch long, with a black finish and a flange built into the underside of the head. The flange spreads the load over a wider area than a plain head, working like an integrated washer without needing a separate one. No.8 refers to the screw's shank diameter on the imperial gauge system, so check this matches the hole or fitting being used.
