Using thread forming screws can dramatically reduce the total costs of a fastening connection. They can replace nuts, threaded parts or the thread cutting process. This does not only reduce the number of parts to be purchased but also the assembly time and the number of parts to be handled.

In addition to the cost saving aspect of thread forming screws, the quality of the fastening connection increases. The self-formed thread in the material to be mounted onto, fits tightly with the thread-flanks of the screw. This helps to prevent self-loosening of the screw even under dynamic vibrations. Once tightened the thread forming screw withstands higher pull-out-strength (compared to precut threads) due to the deeper overlapping of the thread flanks.
