This is an excellent demonstration. I have never used these screws before, and I knew very little about them. But I will definitely be getting some in the future.
I agree with David T - In my experiments the drilling process was painfully slow, needed lots of effort, & difficult to control speed even on 2 speed drill. Yes I was using 14 g Teks in 2mm steel on an RHS. Frankly I found it easier to drill a pilot & the use the self drilling screw. Your screws performed like HSS drill bits!!
Putting a socket extension directly into a drill chuck is not the preferred way to drive hex head screws, though in a pinch, you gotta run what ya brung! I nut driving bit of the appropriate size (usually 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 will do) or a hex shaft bit with a square drive end, available in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 sq. drive size) stuck into the socket extension works too. And it gives you the added flexibility of driving any size socket you've got. The problem with the extension in the chuck is that it's round and can spin if it hits resistance, halt the driving force not to mention chewing up the extension pretty good.
Man, you're using some really good quality screws there. A pleasure to watch. Most of the self-tapping screws sold here (USA) today (cheap, crappy, soft metal) wouldn't go through most of that material, even the smallest stuff, without very quickly stripping or snapping off. By the way, I have the same Dewalt drill.
Great video and thank you purchased the 1 inch self drilling roofing screws with hexagon head and needed a refresher for tool set up. Previous to this mostly used Philips head screws. ✊💪🙏👍
they are extra efficient and handy. you can drill tough metal thick as drilling point on the screw, soon as thread catch you will lose gripping metal and even if you drilled through that 4cm metal bar, there will be nothing left for screw to grip on. only if you get thicker screw after and use it in that hole... when installing door closer and have to drill in to the metal door frame, i use only those screws because drill bit get dull quickly.
Aluminum is not considered a heavy metal, for heavy metals you wanna keep the drill on speed 1, an drill slowly (dont squeeze trigger all the way) ,but add ur body weight for pressure!! So for Aluminum I'd keep it at speed 1, an just squeeze the trigger, not much body weight (pressure) needed since its softer metal.
6:10 - after two minutes of drilling that screw would be sooooo hot that you would not be able to touch it at all. But great video and great screws, that stands for sure :-).
@@antoniorivera1311 it worked perfectly, I used 3mm play and it's thick enough to walk on. These screws screw straight through into aluminium with ease.
@@antoniorivera1311 the only thing I'd make sure of is that the wood is heat treated and not chemical treated, because any chemicals could leech into the metal and cause rust
You should use a screw gun and not a drill. It's too easy to break the heads off with the drill. When I was in High School I used those screws by the 50 lb. box full.

I can't help but notice those chunky fingers. Hands of experience.

Thanks for the great demo, keep up the good work! :)
Nice test, didn't know they were this strong ...
excellent demo. cheers!

Ahhhhhhhh thank you.
Finally someone explain this correctly.
You cannot drill material thicker that the length of the drill point area on the screw.
Hi, regular drill or impact driver drill ? Thanks :)
Now time for me and buy a box of those for the next project.
On last long screw (40). The pilot drill length needs to be long as material depth. :-)
Will these screws go through wood into metal?
What size hex bit is that?
What brand are those screws?
Helpful!
Very good screws
Does the electric drill have a torque setting and if so what would be the best torque setting for aluminum?

@@Muddface100 thnx for tip
You would be surprised how many don't know the difference between self drilling and self tapping.
Thanx man things are claire nos
Should we push when we use self screw on alumnium or other
sheets
yes
I have a metal door. I tried very screw but non can penetrate it. Just the pain

Good man good job

better rather squaredriver [ ] than phillp screwdriver cross + is easily slippery...
but headnut is a short that easily slippery sometime
Can I use these screws for bricks or they’re just for metal? Thanks
They need to look like masonry bits to pierce through brick.
I want this screw

series 500 are better on thicker metals they have a finer thread and longer drill shank.
was thinking the numbers meant gauges but i guess not

I use a hammer drill because it runs on AC.
U need a drill bit with Tek screws. Self tapping my ass. Save ur body. Work SMART.
Aapaki masin non so kampani ki hai
I just asked a question I did not need a big production
DRILLS GUTLESS LMAO NEARLY STALLED
Only use the actual Teks brand made by ITW. The rest are junk....
uh ?! put a screw through a piece of steel isnt that exciting. how to use them to put TWO things together ? cant drill through TWO objects, isnt it ?
actually it can. if the TWO objects re clamped properly
Debile ce test.....

It's a joke my dude المهندس الأزعر
Easy there big fella.
there called self tapping screws and are nothing new
Err no, self-tapping screws are for pre-drilled holes, these are self-drilling screws.
it drills its own hole then self taps a thread
