Made of high-quality carbon steel and treated with black color, they not only have a certain rust-resistant ability, but also present an understated and elegant black luster in appearance, which complements all kinds of materials and adds a professional texture to your DIY works. The unique self-tapping design makes it easy to penetrate through a variety of common materials without the need for pre-tapping, which greatly improves the installation efficiency, and is an indispensable helper in your home DIY projects.
2. The main characteristics of the product
High-quality carbon steel material and black treatment: high-quality carbon steel is selected as the raw material, and after a special black treatment process, a protective film is formed on the surface, which effectively improves the anti-rust performance of the screws, so that they can resist the erosion of moisture, oxidation and other environmental factors to a certain extent, and prolong their service life. At the same time, the black appearance makes it visually more beautiful and professional, and blends with the fixed parts of various colors and materials, whether it is used for the black shell of electronic products, or crafts made of wood, plastic and other materials, all of them can present a harmonious and unified aesthetics to meet your high demand for the appearance of DIY works.
Fine specification range: A wide selection of specifications from M1 to M3 provides precise adaptability for your delicate DIY projects. In the assembly of electronic equipment, such as the fixing of small circuit boards and the mounting of precision instrument housings, the tiny M1 - M2 size screws can firmly connect various components without taking up too much space, ensuring the normal operation and structural stability of electronic equipment; while in modeling and the creation of small handicrafts, the M2 - M3 size screws can be used to connect larger components or to withstand a certain degree of tension, to meet the fastening requirements between different components. In modeling and small crafts, M2 - M3 size screws can be used to connect larger components or withstand certain tensile force, to meet the fastening needs of different components, and to show your exquisite craftsmanship and creative details.
Advantage of self-tapping design: The unique self-tapping thread design is a highlight of this product. Compared with ordinary screws, it does not need to pre-tap on the material to be fixed, just use a screwdriver to screw the screw directly into the material, and the installation can be completed easily. This design not only saves your time and energy, but also avoids installation problems caused by inaccurate pre-tapping and improves the success rate of DIY projects. When dealing with some softer materials, such as plastics and thin wooden boards, self-tapping screws can quickly and effectively penetrate and form a stable threaded connection, ensuring a tight fit between the parts and facilitating your creative build.
Phillips head shape: Phillips head design makes the contact between the screwdriver and the screw head more stable, which can better transmit torque, thus facilitating you to apply uniform force when tightening or loosening the screws, and is not easy to appear the phenomenon of slipping wire. The larger shape of the pan head and the relatively large contact area with the fixed parts can disperse the pressure and reduce the damage to the surface of the material, especially in the fixing of some of the more fragile surface of the material, this advantage is more obvious. At the same time, the simple and generous appearance of the cross head meets the aesthetic needs of most DIY projects, adding a sense of sophistication to your work.

DIY and Repair of Electronic Devices: When making your own small electronic products, such as mini speakers, smart bracelet shells, simple drone frames, etc., or repairing and upgrading electronic devices, M1 - M2 size screws can accurately fix circuit boards, battery compartments, housings and other components. Its small size can realize tight connection in limited space, ensure the stable operation of electronic components, and avoid damaging the precision electronic equipment due to oversized screws. At the same time, the low conductivity and magnetism of carbon steel will not interfere with the signal transmission and performance of electronic equipment, providing a reliable guarantee for your electronic DIY projects.
MODEL MAKING: M1.4 - M2.6 size screws are essential connecting components for modeling enthusiasts of aviation, automotive, architectural and other types of models. When building model frames, fixing wings, mounting wheels and other critical parts, these screws can provide enough strength and stability to ensure that the model will not fall apart during display and operation. Its black appearance can also coordinate with the overall color scheme of the model, creating a realistic and exquisite effect, making your model work more professional and attractive.
Small Craft Creation: In making small crafts made of wood, plastic or metal, such as handmade jewelry boxes, creative ornaments, small sculptures, etc., the screws with M2 - M3 specifications can be used to connect different parts for creative combination and fixing. For example, when assembling wooden jewelry boxes, the screws can securely fix the box body and lid to ensure smooth opening and closing; when making metal sculptures, the screws can connect the metal pieces or parts together to form a unique shape. The self-tapping design and black color make the screws practical and beautiful in crafts, adding a unique charm to your creative works.

Tool Preparation: According to the specifications of the screws (M1 - M3), choose the appropriate Phillips screwdriver to ensure that the size of the screwdriver bit matches closely with the cross slot of the screw, to avoid slipping or damaging the screw slot and screwdriver bit due to the oversize or undersize of the bit when unscrewing. For smaller sizes of M1 - M1.4 screws, it is recommended to use a precision small Phillips screwdriver to ensure the accuracy and stability of the operation.
Preparation before installation: Before installing the screws, clean the surface of the parts to be fixed, remove dust, oil, impurities, etc., to ensure that the screws can be in close contact with the surface of the material to obtain good friction and tightening effect. For harder or thicker materials, such as metal plates or thick wooden boards, you can first use a sharp tool to pre-punch holes in the installation location to help the screws penetrate the material more easily, but note that the diameter of the holes punched is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the screws, which will allow the screws to form a tighter threaded connection when screwed in.
Installation process: Align the screws with the location where they need to be fastened, then use a Phillips screwdriver to slowly screw in the screws perpendicular to the mounting surface. At first, gently rotate the screwdriver so that the screws initially enter the material. After confirming that the screws are correctly positioned and perpendicular, gradually increase the force and tighten the screws smoothly. In the process of tightening, pay attention to the uniform application of force to avoid uneven force resulting in screw tilt or damage to the threads. For self-tapping screws, you may encounter some resistance when screwing in, this is a normal phenomenon, continue to slowly rotate the screwdriver, so that the screw's self-tapping threads gradually cut into the material until the desired degree of fastening. If you feel that the screw is too tight or cannot be screwed in smoothly during the screwing process, do not force it, but check whether the screw is vertical, whether there is any foreign object blocking the hole, or try to replace it with a new one to avoid damaging the material or the screw.
Removal steps: If you need to remove the installed screws, again use a suitable Phillips screwdriver, insert the head of the screwdriver into the cross slot of the screw, and then rotate the screwdriver counterclockwise to loosen the screw gradually. During the loosening process, keep the screwdriver perpendicular to the screw to prevent slipping. If the screws are tight because they have not been disassembled for a long time or because they are rusty, you can drop in an appropriate amount of rust remover or lubricant and wait for a few moments before attempting to unscrew them, which will help to minimize resistance during disassembly and to protect the threads of the screws and the mounting parts from damage.
