Go Flush And Strong: Formdrill Over Clinch Nuts!
Clinch nuts can sometimes protrude and may not offer the same level of thread strength as Formdrill. Explore how Formdrill provides a robust and often more aesthetically pleasing alternative to clinch nuts for creating threaded holes in sheet metal.

Clinch Nut
Clinch nuts are fasteners pressed into sheet metal to provide threads, but they have limited thread strength and can loosen or spin under high loads.
Inferior Result
May Loosen If Improperly Installed & Not Ideal For All Material Thickness
Formdrill
Formdrill uses friction heat to soften the metal so it flows and forms a hole with a built-in collar. This collar supports threading and provides exceptional thread strength
Threaded Hole
Internally Threaded Bushing
