Metallics TEKDK6 Screws 6 Hwh TS D-Pt Kit St-zn (Trey 1)

The TEKDK6 tray holds 262 pieces total. Screws break down as #8 with a 1/4 inch hex head in 1/2 inch (50), 3/4 inch (50) and 1 inch (40), plus #10 with a 5/16 inch hex head in 1/2 inch (50), 3/4 inch (35) and 1 inch (30). Driving tools are included too: a 1/4 inch and a 5/16 inch nut setter and one drill chuck. So you can run both screw sizes straight out of the tray without buying bits separately.

Both. The Type BSD drill-point screws in the TEKDK6 kit are used to attach plywood, soft woods or composition board to metal, and also metal to metal. The drill point makes its own hole and the spaced threads form mating threads in one pass, so no pre-drilling or tapping.

Drill time is quoted at 2.5 seconds for a 1 mm thick plate, which puts the kit in light-gauge territory, roughly the range of metal studs, track and thin sheet. Minimum torque values are the same for stainless and steel self-drilling screws. For structural steel or thick plate you want a heavier drill point than what is in this tray.

A standard drill or impact driver works. The screws use a hex washer head with a hex drive, and the kit supplies the matching 1/4 inch and 5/16 inch nut setters plus a drill chuck. The 1/4 inch setter drives the #8 screws and the 5/16 inch setter drives the #10 screws.

The TEKDK6 screws are carbon steel with a zinc finish, which is a mild corrosion coating suited to dry interior and protected work. For sustained exterior exposure, coastal air, or treated lumber contact, use a stainless or heavy coated self-drilling screw instead.

Yes. Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the threads follow SAE J78-2013. Steel is AISI 1016 to 1024, case hardened to Rockwell C32-40. That hardness is what lets the point cut its own hole without a pilot.

The TEKDK6 kit is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your spec requires a single documented origin, confirm the origin on the lot you receive.

The TEKDK6 is an assortment tray covering #8 and #10 in 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch lengths. Other sizes and quantities in the JTEKD self-drilling line are available by request, so if you are running one length all day, order that size in bulk rather than buying trays.

The tray measures 8 x 4.62 x 1.25 inches and weighs 1.465 lbs loaded, so it drops into a standard van bin or the lid pocket of a tool bag. It is sold by the each with a minimum order of one tray.

A self-drilling screw like the Type BSD in this kit drills the hole, forms the mating thread and fastens in one operation. That cuts labour and tooling cost and reduces or eliminates the drill bits and taps you would otherwise consume on the job. For a tech hanging strut, boxes or sheet to metal stud, it is one tool and one pass instead of three.
