Self-drilling screws are for sheetmetal work, and self-tapping screws<br /> can be for wood (or metal but only if the metal has a hole already)<br /><br /> Here is a page to show the difference:<br /><a href="http://www.firstcallautosupply.com/self-drilling-screws-vs.-self-tapping-screws" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://www.firstcallautosupply.com/self-drilling-screws-vs.-self-tapping-screws</a><br /><br /> note that there is some disagreement on this issue by people who are wrong on<br /> the internet, probably encouraged by cavalier use of the terms interchangably.<br /> I won't link to it, but the first google result comes up with an equally<br /> compelling article describing the screws by the exact opposite names.<br /><br /> Personally, I think we should stick with calling the screws that have a<br /> drill-bit on the tip, which drill their own holes, "self-drilling" and the<br /> other screws, which are merely pointy and tap their own threads into an<br /> existing hole, "self-tapping"<br /><br /> "Drywall screws" look like "self-tapping" screws but they have a curved chamfer<br /> under the head for some reason having to do with making drywall look nice, and<br /> they are usually black.<br /><br /> thanks so much for everything but the beer!<br /><br /> -jake<br /><br /> On Mon, 2 Apr 2018, Robert Chu wrote:<br /><br /> > Hello Sudo Room,<br /> ><br /> > - I recently donated a box with about ~30-40 3 inch, general construction,<br /> > screws (self drilling tips).<br /> ><br /> > - Donating about ~20-30 1 1/2-2 1/2 inch screws (MIXED).<br /> > - A cheap mini screw driver set (for computer sized work).<br /> > - Few miscellaneous sockets (no wrench)<br /> > - A hose with a hand pump the line.<br /> > - Couple of medium trash bags.<br /> > - A bunch of washers (fender as well), and lock washers.<br /> > - Angle grinding discs (we have quite a few), angle grinder is online.<br /> > - A few regular sized screwdrivers<br /> > - Wound and Burn Dressing (for the first aid in the bathroom).<br /> > - One Natural Light can of beer.<br /> > - 2 botttles of hand soap.<br /> > - And other stuff.<br /> ><br /> > If the Omni in General needs the 3 inch screws (recommended for framing<br /> > 2x4s) they are there.<br /> ><br /> > Dropping tonight.<br /> > Monday 4/2/2018<br /> ><br /> > Thanks<br /> ><br /> > Robert Albert Young Chu<br /> > P::415-724-0425<br /> > E:: <a href="mailto:robert.chu01@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer">robert.chu01@gmail.com</a><br /> ></blockquote>
