How to maintain this product

Step 1 – Make a pilot hole if needed

If the product Zinc Plated Self Tapping Screws for Metal Flat Head metal is thin, like 1mm or less, you can sometimes drive the screw straight in. For thicker metal, drill a small pilot hole first. About the size of the screw's core diameter, not the full thread.

Step 2 – Line it up

Put the screw in the hole. Start turning by hand a couple turns so it doesn't go in crooked.

Step 3 – Drive it in

Use a Phillips or Pozidriv driver depending on what head type you have. Keep the driver straight. Don't tilt it or you'll strip the head.

Step 4 – Stop when it's flush

Because it's a flat head, you want the top level with the surface. Don't keep cranking after it's flush. You'll just damage the metal or strip the threads.

One thing to watch – self tapping screws take more force than regular screws. That's normal. But if it feels way too hard, back it out and check if the pilot hole is big enough.
