The Simpson Strong-Tie XU34B1016-5K Strong-Drive #10 x 3/4" Self-Drilling Screw is a high-performance fastener designed for secure metal-to-metal connections without predrilling. Ideal for attaching steel panels to structural steel or other cold-formed steel members, this screw is built for speed, strength, and reliability in commercial, industrial, and light-gauge steel construction.

The self-drilling point ensures quick, clean starts and minimizes the need for additional prep work. A clear zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for interior applications, while the hex washer head allows for increased driving stability.

Key Features:

• Self-drilling #2 point eliminates the need for predrilling in steel up to 16 gauge
• Hex washer head design ensures controlled drive and improved bearing surface
• Clear zinc coating offers corrosion resistance for interior or dry environments
• Engineered for optimal holding power and installation efficiency
• Packaged in bulk (5,000 pcs) for professional job site use

Applications:

• Metal framing and cold-formed steel construction
• Attaching steel panels to steel supports
• HVAC duct installation
• Electrical and mechanical fastening in steel studs or tracks

Installation Notes:

• Use with impact drivers or screw guns with torque control
• Align screw perpendicular to surface before driving
• No predrilling required for materials up to 16 gauge
• Tighten until the head is flush with the surface without overdriving
