Metallics QTEKDK1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Metallics QTEKDK1 self-drilling screw kit?
QTEKDK1 is an assortment kit of zinc-plated steel self-drilling TEK screws from Metallics, made in the USA. Self-drilling screws cut their own hole, so there is no pilot drilling step on sheet metal, studs, strut, or enclosure work. The kit format gives you a range of the sizes an electrician reaches for most rather than a single box of one size.
2) Do I need to pre-drill before using these self-drilling TEK screws?
No. A self-drilling screw carries a drill point on the tip, so it bores and threads in one pass with a driver. That is the whole reason to stock the QTEKDK1 kit on a truck: fewer tool changes when you are hanging boxes, straps, or plates on sheet metal and light-gauge steel.
3) Is a TEK screw kit the right fastener for anchoring into concrete or drywall?
No. Self-drilling TEK screws are made to drill and thread into metal, typically sheet metal and light-gauge steel framing. For concrete or block you want a masonry anchor or concrete screw, and for hollow drywall with no stud behind it you want a toggle or self-drilling drywall anchor. Using a TEK screw in either substrate gives you no real holding power.
4) Are the screws in the Metallics TEK screw kit plated for corrosion resistance?
They are steel with zinc plating. Zinc gives decent protection for dry interior work, indoor enclosures, metal studs, and strut runs. For sustained outdoor exposure or wet locations, step up to a stainless or coated exterior-rated fastener instead.
5) Is the Metallics QTEKDK1 made in the USA?
Yes, the QTEKDK1 screw kit is USA made.
6) How many of each screw size does the QTEKDK1 kit contain?
The QTEKDK1 is sold as a single kit under one part number, ordered as one item rather than by individual screw size. If you need bulk quantities of one specific diameter and length, order that size as its own boxed item instead of the kit.
