A tek screw is a screw that has a drill bit tip for a point rather than coming to a sharp point like a needle. These are self-drilling screws and need no pilot hole. Tek is a brand name for self-drilling screws as Kleenex is a brand name for nose tissue. self-drilling screws are similar to sheet metal screws but have a drill point instead of coming to a sharp point and will drill their own hole. This eliminates the need to pre-drill a pilot hole.
