I was at a garage sale the other day and found these screws. Anyone need some?

Looks like they are self-drilling, self tapping, and require countersinking. I wouldn't trust them over a bolt and locknut method. I had some fail on a vintage trailer that I rebuilt. Never again!

We used those, called "TekScrews" to attach metal studs to red iron structural beams. Didn't countersink them but they worked self drilling through 1/8" steel beams.

They appear to be waferhead metal screw. No countersink required whenused to fasten plywood or softwoods to metal frameworks.

Also used for attaching deck lumber to trailer beds like for car carriers.... My car carrier uses them to secure boards at mid point along length of bed..
