Self-tapping screws/ Tox Screws are a type of fastener that can create their own threads in a material as they are screwed in, without the need for a pre-drilled hole. This is accomplished through a unique design that includes a pointed end and sharp threads that cut into the material. Self-tapping screws are commonly used in metalworking and woodworking applications, but they can also be used in other materials such as plastic or fiberglass.

Wall plugs, also known as anchors or masonry plugs, are small devices made of plastic or metal that are used to provide additional support and stability to screws when they are inserted into a brittle material, such as plaster, concrete, or brick. Wall plugs are inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the material, and then the screw is inserted into the plug. When the screw is tightened, the plug expands, creating a secure anchor point and preventing the screw from becoming loose or falling out.

When used together, self-tapping screws and wall plugs create a secure attachment point that is reliable and long-lasting. To use them together, a hole is first drilled in the material that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the wall plug. The wall plug is then inserted into the hole, making sure it is flush with the surface of the material. The self-tapping screw is then inserted into the wall plug and tightened until it is secure. As the screw is tightened, the wall plug expands, creating a secure anchor point that can support the weight of the object being attached.

Overall, the combination of self-tapping screws and wall plugs is a versatile and effective solution for a wide range of applications where a strong and secure attachment point is required. It is important to choose the appropriate size and type of screw and wall plug for the specific application to ensure a reliable and long-lasting attachment point.

The combination of self-tapping screws and wall plugs provides a strong and reliable attachment point suitable for various applications that require a secure fixing in brittle or weak materials. When used together, self-tapping screws and wall plugs can be used for:

• Hanging picture frames, mirrors, and shelves on walls made of plaster, concrete or brick
• Mounting light fixtures, curtain rods, and other accessories on walls
• Installing electrical boxes in concrete or brick walls
• Securing handrails and other safety features to walls or floors
• Building wooden structures or structures made of other materials that require an attachment point to a wall or other surface.

In general, self-tapping screws provide a threaded hole in the material, while wall plugs provide additional support and stability to the screw. The combination of these two components ensures that the screw remains securely fastened to the wall or other surface, even under significant weight or force. When selecting the appropriate size and type of self-tapping screw and wall plug, it is essential to consider the weight and force requirements of the application to ensure a reliable and long-lasting attachment point.
