Solving Problems With Self Drilling Screws

By Lucia Weeks


While walking on the street, there is an old mad shouting to a younger boy to screw himself after making fun of him. So where does the word screw came from, the meaning, and cursing other people make a good use of it. Come to think of it, connecting a wood to a metal is difficult, but not with the help of a special kind of screw.

Metal and wood are different element so connecting one to another will be a problem. Using a screw or bolt will solve the mounting on wooden shelves to a metal frame. Bolt will do the work, but more work is needed because you need a hole on each side, while a screw like self drilling screws will save you some work because of its capability of self drilling.

The materials to use is not also a question. You can use just a screwdriver or a hand drill. You just need a marking where you would put it and then screw it in place. All you need for that is the right tools and equipment and you are ready to make anything you want.

They have many variations from sizes and quality. Sizes have difference from the smaller 0.5 inch up to three inches or larger. The hardness and quality of the screw is upon the usage, whether it is for a metal application, wood or plastic.

Using a nail is not as easy as using these. The reason is that nail needs much more effort and force while using a hammer. Unlike nails, screws like these needed a turn clockwise or counterclockwise because of its different thread to be applied.

These screws are easy to find. You could buy it on a local hardware or even in supermarkets. But before you buy one, be sure to know what size and type you will be using. This will lessen the time to come back for replacement of the one you have bought.

Application of use of these are many. Having a flat screen television while relaxing to the couch is good. So mounting it to the wall in front of your couch is a better idea. It saves you a space by using these to have the mounting of the flat screen television cling on the wall.

The part of the house that needs these screws are the roof. Most of the roofing now are made with corrugated galvanized iron that is much easier to use and replace unlike the old brick type that you will have to find whoever makes that brick type in this age. The thought is replacement of newer kind of roofing system is much easier today than maintaining an old and antique types.

In everything we do in our daily life there is a solution to any problem. So if you are wondering about fixing a shelf that falls off from the wall, replacing your old roof with a new one, or installing your flat screen television in front of your couch, screwing it on place with the proper materials and equipment will probably fix the job. One more thing do not screw yourself on every problem you have in life.
