The Self-Piercing Point of the Self-tapping Nail
Product Description
A self-tapping nail is a nail that can tap its own hole as it is driven into the material. More narrowly, self-tapping is used only to describe a specific type of thread-cutting nail intended to produce a thread in relatively soft material or sheet materials, excluding wood nails. Other specific types of self-tapping nail include self-drilling nails and thread rolling nails.

With its sharp point and body-threading spiral, the self-tapping nail revolutionized fastening and construction when first patented in the 1840s. Today, it remains an indispensable fastener across countless DIY, industrial, and building applications.
As its name implies, the self-tapping nail is engineered to drill and tap its own hole while being driven, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. Its cutting point and threaded shank allow it to carve and form internal threads in wood, plastic, sheet metal or other soft materials. This enables quick fastening without tools besides a hammer or nail gun.
The nails are made from hardened steel wire or alloy rods to resist bending under force. The spiral threads run part or all the way up the shank for maximum gripping power. Some models feature grooved shanks to improve pullout resistance. The heads are designed for clinching or flush setting with varied drive styles.
From securing roof tiles and flooring to assembling furniture and framing, self-tapping nails provide a quick and easy fastening solution. Their holding power and corrosion resistance make them ideal for outdoor applications. Contractors and DIYers have come to rely upon these nails for their convenience and versatility.
A brilliant feat of engineering ingenuity, the self-tapping nail continues to be an essential fastening component across industries and home projects. The simple yet profound invention of its point and threaded body has greatly reduced construction effort and enhanced the strength of assembled structures since its emergence.
