Benefits

• Maintains full thread major diameter close to the bearing surface
• Absorbs material extruded by the screw and increases the underhead contact area to enhance thread engagement and resistance to stripping
• Provides a mating thread system in which diametrically opposed threads are engaged
• Provides low thread-forming torque with high resistance to failure
• Head seats squarely compared to off-axis tendency of sheet metal screws
• Allows entry into small holes to create self-extrusion of the sheet metal and to increase resistance to stripping
• Provides resistance to loosening caused by vibration.
• Significantly extends tool life
• Ideal drive system for maximum torque transfer
