The Malco Bit-Tip BT133T Drill & Tap Screw is a specialized fastener designed to streamline and simplify drilling, tapping, and fastening operations in various construction and metalworking applications. With its unique design and construction, this screw combines multiple functions into a single step, making it a valuable tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
The BT133T Drill & Tap Screw features a #2 point, which is specifically engineered for self-drilling and self-tapping capabilities.

This eliminates the need for pre-drilling separate holes and subsequently tapping threads, saving time and effort during installation.
These screws are designed to be used with screw size #8-18 and have a length of 3/4 inches. This size is commonly used in various applications, including metal-to-metal fastening, attaching metal roofing, and securing metal panels. The 1/4-inch driver compatibility ensures that these screws can be easily installed using standard driver tools, enhancing their versatility and ease of use.
Each tub of Malco Bit-Tip BT133T Drill & Tap Screws contains 500 screws, making it a convenient and cost-effective choice for bulk fastening needs. This quantity is ideal for professionals working on large-scale projects or for individuals who frequently require fasteners for various tasks.
One of the advantages of these screws is their durability and resistance to corrosion. They are typically made from high-quality materials, such as coated steel or stainless steel, which provides excellent rust resistance and ensures long-lasting performance, even in outdoor or humid environments.
