If you need screws that can form their own matching threads in the material into which they are being driven, Thread Forming Screws are a great solution. Fastener SuperStore offers three styles of these versatile screw types.

Thread Forming Screws for Plastics feature widely spaced threads and a triblobular point, allowing them to form, or roll, their own threads in to the plastic materials into which they are driven. Our thread forming screws for plastics are generic versions of Plastite® screws. Their sharp threads increase holding strength and reduce the need for reinforcing inserts or clips.

Thread Forming Screws for Metals are available in a wide variety of materials, finishes & head / drive styles. Fastener SuperStore offers more than 1,400 distinct size and style combinations. Our generic alternatives for Taptite® Brand Screws are offered in 9 head styles, 5 drive styles, 3 materials and 6 finish options. Full size selection. 

High-Low Thread Forming Screws feature a double lead thread and are used with plastic, nylon, wood and other low density materials. Thread design reduces driving torques, enhances resistance to thread stripping, improves pullout strength and lessens risk of cracking the work piece.
