Description
Product Overview
The VGBUY 100‑piece pack of #10 x 1‑1/4″ self drilling screws is engineered for professionals who demand reliability and speed on every job. Each screw is forged from 410 stainless steel, a magnetic alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and ability to maintain structural integrity in demanding environments. The zinc‑plated coating adds an extra layer of protection against rust and wear, ensuring a long service life even when exposed to moisture or harsh chemicals.
Designed with a modified truss head, the screw provides a larger bearing surface that distributes load evenly, reducing the risk of material deformation and improving holding power. The Phillips drive slot offers precise torque transfer, minimizing cam‑out and allowing for consistent installation with standard power tools. The tip of each screw is shaped like a drill bit, enabling it to cut its own pilot hole in thin metal, wood, or plastic, which eliminates the need for a separate pre‑drilling step and cuts labor time dramatically.
Dimensions of the packaging are compact at 7 × 5 × 0.7 inches, weighing just 14.89 ounces, making it easy to store in toolboxes, workbenches, or on‑site supply cabinets. The product carries the model number VG01712 and is manufactured by VGBUY, a brand recognized for its commitment to quality in the fastener industry. With a Best Sellers Rank of #10,163 in Industrial & Scientific and #67 in Sheet Metal Screws, this item has earned a solid 4.6‑star rating from over 200 verified customers, reflecting its performance and value.
Usage
These self drilling screws excel in a wide range of applications across multiple industries. In HVAC installations, they secure ductwork, brackets, and mounting plates quickly, allowing technicians to finish projects faster and with fewer tools. For metal roofing and siding, the screws cut clean holes through thin gauge steel, aluminum, and galvanized panels, delivering a flush finish that resists wind uplift and water infiltration.
Contractors working on residential and commercial construction can rely on these screws for framing, interior trim, and cabinetry where metal-to-wood connections are required. The magnetic 410 steel core makes the screws easy to retrieve with magnetic pickup tools, reducing the chance of lost fasteners on busy job sites. In automotive and marine repairs, the corrosion‑resistant finish protects against saltwater exposure, extending the lifespan of critical components.
Installation is straightforward: simply align the screw with the material, apply steady pressure, and drive it with a Phillips‑bit screwdriver or cordless drill. The self‑drilling tip will pierce the substrate, and the modified truss head will seat firmly, providing a secure joint without the need for a separate pilot hole. For best results on thicker materials, a modest pre‑drill of 1/8″ may be used, but the majority of thin‑sheet applications require no preparation at all.
Because the pack includes an extra Phillips driver, users have an immediate tool on hand, ensuring that the first screw can be installed without searching for the correct bit. This convenience, combined with the versatile size range offered across the broader product line, makes the VGBUY self drilling screws a go‑to choice for electricians, fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts alike.

FAQ
What materials can these screws be used with?
They are designed for thin metal sheets, wood, and most plastics. The self‑drilling tip works best on gauges up to 0.032″ for metal and can also penetrate soft plastics without cracking.
Do I need a pilot hole for thicker materials?
For materials thicker than 0.032″ you may pre‑drill a small 1/8″ hole to reduce torque, but the majority of sheet‑metal applications require no preparation.
Are these screws magnetic?
Yes, the 410 stainless steel core is magnetic, which helps with retrieval using magnetic tools and simplifies handling on the job site.
What is the warranty on these fasteners?
VGBUY offers a limited one‑year warranty against material defects and coating failures, ensuring you receive a reliable product for your projects.
Can I purchase larger quantities for a commercial project?
Absolutely. Contact our sales team for bulk pricing and fast shipping options tailored to your project’s needs.
