U-Drive Screws
Valley Fastener Group manufactures high-quality U-Drive screws designed for fast, permanent installation in metal, wood, or plastic components. U-Drive screws feature multiple spiral grooves or locking fins along the shank, allowing them to be driven into pre-drilled holes to form a secure interference fit. Their design provides a strong, vibration-resistant connection without the need for tapping or threading, making U-Drive screws an efficient alternative to traditional screws or rivets.
