How can we purchase high-quality self tapping screws?

Generally speaking, the tail of self-tapping screws is pointed, while the shape of the head is relatively diverse, including pan head, countersunk head, and semi countersunk head. How can one purchase high-quality screws when faced with a variety of similar products on the market? If you don't know how to choose, you can start with the following three points.
One is to check the appearance of the screws.
The surface of screws with good quality will undergo process treatment, which not only has high smoothness but also there are no sand holes at the connection points. On the other hand, screws with poor treatment will have rough processing technology. The surface of the screw is not smooth, with many burrs, shallow external thread grooves, and uneven threads. Using such screws to tighten can easily cause slipping or even cracking.
Measure the diameter of the screw.
A screw with good quality has a diameter that is consistent with the diameter on the drawing. If there is a significant difference between the diameter of the screw and the marked diameter, it indicates that its workmanship is average. If such a screw is purchased, its size specifications do not meet the requirements for use.
Thirdly, it depends on the manufacturer of the screws.
The production scale of manufacturers also affects the quality of screws. Many people usually go to hardware stores to purchase screws. Even if the quality of the screws purchased is not good, the loss to consumers is not significant. However, if it is a bulk purchase, it is necessary to find a manufacturer. Some consumers even have special requirements for the size of the screws, which requires finding a manufacturer to customize. The large scale of the manufacturer indicates that it can effectively complete the production tasks delivered by consumers.
Moreover, large-scale manufacturers also have rich production experience and mature production processes. The quality of the screws produced is relatively good, and consumers do not need to worry too much about screw quality issues.
When purchasing self-tapping screws, it is also necessary to understand the difference between round-head and large flat-head screws. If there are clear regulations on the load-bearing capacity of screws in different situations, it is recommended to choose large flat-head screws, because large flat-head screws have a larger total load-bearing area and more rotation amplitude, which can fully exert the effect of connection and fixation. Compared with large flat-head screws, round-head screws have limitations in use.
What should be done if the screw slips during use? Generally speaking, the commonly used method is lane changing. If the screw slips during the connection with the wooden board, a small piece of wood residue can be used to insert it into the gap and tighten it. This will increase the sliding friction force of the screw, which can effectively solve the problem of slipping.
