This is for (100) pieces of Self Tapping Machine Screws Flat Head Type A Phillips. A self-tapping screw is a screw that can tap its own hole as it is driven into the material. Some self-tapping screws are also self-drilling, which means that, in addition to the tap-like flute in the leading threads, there is also a preliminary drill-like fluted tip that looks much like the tip of a center drill. These tapping screws feature a flat head that has a flat top and a taper. Flat heads are designed to be used in a countersunk hole.
