Excellent interpretation
Awesome job Andy!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
I would love about 100x more videos about fasteners and the trade offs. Material types, screw types, nut and bolt types. I’m a new DYIer and frankly there are just way too many choices and options and currently i just head to the big box store and get something that kinda looks right but have very little idea if I’m even close to having a correct solution. Thanks for this.
Thank you!! We have a whole bunch of new videos on the way!
Is there any video available related to lag screws

How to calculate clamp load for self tapping screws ... Are there any formula available? If yes what are the parameters affecting clamp load?
Hi, I like your lecture.Thanks
Awesome I’m glad you found this useful!! Thanks for watching!!
Nice content 👌
My plan is to secure some iron roofing sheets to a metal framework(100mm x 100mm hollow square posts of 1.4mm thick stainless steel) by self drilling screws. Would the anchorage force of just 1 or 2 threads for each screw be strong enough to hold the roofing sheets in storms?
Hey Sam, I’d like to help on this but there are to many variables. Without being there and looking at it, it would be tough for me to answer. Thanks for your question and watching, sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
Are self drilling screws just as strong in terms of their load bearing capacity for thin aluminium pipes
May I know what type of screw should i use with plastic fly screen clip ( to hold the fly screen frame) onto the aluminium window please?
Hi, I’m sorry but I’m not familiar with the clip. Please contact our customer service so we can get more information on the project. I’m sure we will be able to find something! Thanks!
@@BoltsandNutscom shall do ! thank you.
Im hanging up a door closer on a metal hollow door are self tapping screws good for this ?
Now I haven’t seen the exact setup but it sounds like a tapping screws will be your best bet. I hope that help! Thank you for your inquiry!
Does it effect the joint, if the self driven screws are driven by hammer blows instead of screwing them by screw driver because the former is common when the screws are used in large projects like attaching roofing sheets to timber.
Hi Tantary, sorry I’m not aware of hammering these in. We’ve only ever screwed them in. Thanks for watching!
Can i use self drilling screws for fixing wood with metal pipes ?
Yes these will work for installing wood to metal!
What type of screws are needed for 20 gauge steel studs - self-drilling or self-tapping? Is 20 gauge considered light or heavy gauge steel? What length is preferred - 1/2 or 3/4"?
That’s a great question, unfortunately we’re not familiar on the sheets themself. We’ve put the drilling screws through pretty thick steel, I’m personally a bigger fan of those. Saves the pre drill process. 20 gauge is roughly .0359” thickness so either of those lengths will work. It’ll depend what you are attaching or going into. I hope those helps! Thanks for watching!
Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
No problem 👍
Can we able to use these self drilling screws for all kind of sheet metal materials? Or do we have any particular sheet metals.
How to fix sheet to sheet screwing with regid one. Without washer.
Hello Vishwanath, I’m not sure what regid is, please message us or comment here so I can get more details to better help you. Thank you! Andy
what are pilot point screws?
Hello Shaikh screws have an unthreaded cylindrical tip that is smaller than the fastener diameter. This helps speed alignment during automated assembly. These would not be related to sheet metal screws. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thank you!
@@BoltsandNutscom thank you so much for the information , you are awesome!
So why would I want self tapping
So lets say for sheet metal roofing, self tap?
Hello, I would say self drilling with a sealing rubber washer. We stock them here: www.boltsandnuts.com/shop/hex-washer-w-sealing-washer-77518
The self drilling screws are stopped after drilling hole it’s not going until last what’s the issue
What makes you certified? Did you take a class? This is an honest question I’m not trying to sound like an a hole
Not a problem at all! Classes & Tests through the Fastener Training Institute.
Can self drilling screw be used on wood/furnitures?
Hello, yes they can be used for wood/metal. Every application is different you may also want to test self tapping screws.
