Tapping Screws

Cyclone® Screws: A uniquely serrated helical shoulder actually bites into sheet metal, enabling the Shakeproof Cyclone screw to absorb higher tightening torque, which adds to increased backout resistance. A dramatically increased safe operating range (the difference between required driving torque and minimum stripping torque) makes the Cyclone screw "user friendly" and permits the use of thinner sheet metal in many applications.

HurricaneT Screws: ITW Shakeproof's Hurricane anti-strip screw is considered the optimum performer in thin sheet - even .025" and thinner! The screw creates a positive torque brake in thin sheet metal, aluminum or plastic. It assures maximum installation efficiency while eliminating the costly rework associated with stripped screws.

GX Self-Extruding Screws: This unque screw from ITW Shakeproof extrudes sheet metal upward and downward providing an increased area for thread engagement and meeting U.L. requirements for grounding applications. For particularly torque- sensitive applications, Shakeproof's torque-robbing Ger-Nib(R) feature can be incorporated into the GX screw head.
