What Are Needle Point Screws?

Needle point screws, also known as self-piercing screws, are specialized fasteners designed with an ultra-sharp, tapered tip. This allows them to pierce directly into softer or thinner materials without requiring a pilot hole. The threads run from the tip all the way to the head, delivering maximum holding power and ensuring a secure, lasting fit. Because they cut directly into the surface, needle point screws make installation fast and efficient, saving both time and effort compared to conventional screws.

Strong-Point® needle point screws are manufactured from premium materials and available in multiple sizes, thread types, and head styles to meet the requirements of many industries. Whether fastening into plastics, light-gauge metal, or softwoods, these screws are trusted for their ability to perform quickly and cleanly in demanding applications.

South Coast Fasteners, Inc. supplies Strong-Point® needle point screws in a complete range of diameters, lengths, head styles, and protective finishes to ensure you always have the right fastener for your job.

Key Features of Needle Point Screws

Ultra-Sharp Needle Point

The defining feature of these screws is their finely sharpened tip, which allows them to penetrate directly into wood, plastics, or thin metal without the need for pre-drilling. This reduces installation time and labor costs while delivering fast, secure fastening.

Self-Piercing Capability

Needle point screws are engineered to pierce light materials such as sheet metal, plastics, and softwoods without splitting or cracking. The self-piercing design locks the screw into place with a tight hold that lasts.

Durable Construction

Made from hardened steel, Strong-Point® needle point screws are built to withstand heavy use. Their strength prevents bending or breaking during installation, even when driven quickly into tough surfaces.

Corrosion Resistance

Many variations feature protective coatings that guard against rust and corrosion. This ensures that the screws maintain their strength and integrity even in outdoor or moisture-prone environments.

Variety of Head Styles

Strong-Point® needle point screws are available with flat, pan, and hex heads, allowing contractors and fabricators to choose the right style for structural or finish applications.

Applications of Needle Point Screws

Sheet Metal Fabrication

One of the most common uses for needle point screws is in sheet metal work. Their sharp tips penetrate thin steel quickly, making them ideal for HVAC duct assembly, metal roofing, and light framing projects where pre-drilling would slow production.

Plastics and Composite Materials

Needle point screws are widely used to fasten plastics and composite materials. Their sharp points pierce cleanly without cracking or damaging the surface, producing reliable connections and smooth finishes.

Softwoods

In woodworking, needle point screws are particularly effective for fastening softwoods such as plywood, particleboard, and other light materials. Their self-piercing design eliminates the need for pre-drilling, reducing the risk of splitting or surface damage.

Automotive Industry

The automotive sector uses needle point screws for assembling interior panels, trim, and other components. Their ability to pierce both plastic and thin metal makes them well-suited to the materials commonly found in vehicle construction.

Signage and Display Construction

Signage manufacturers rely on needle point screws to mount signs, banners, and display materials onto metal or plastic frames. Their quick installation helps streamline production processes while ensuring stability in commercial and retail environments.

Furniture Assembly

In lightweight furniture and cabinetry, needle point screws provide secure fastening in softwoods or composites. Their sharp points and consistent strength make them perfect for quick, reliable assembly without pre-drilling.

Industries That Rely on Needle Point Screws
