Thread Forming Screw

Thread forming screws are screws that can be either drilled directly in or can use a pilot hole to attach materials such as plastic and metal. They can come either with a blunt point or have sharp point at the end. The screw thread itself removes the material it is being driven into to secure it into the material. They can be reused once they are installed.
