FAQs

What size driver bit should I use?

Use a PZ2 (Pozi) driver bit.

What materials can I use these screws with?

Softwood, chipboard, MDF, and masonry (with a plug).

Do I need to pre-drill?

Pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods and when working near the edge of the material.

What is the thread length?

All sizes up to and including 75mm are fully threaded. Lengths 80mm and above have a 70mm thread length.

What is the finish of the screws?

Zinc & Yellow.

What is the head type?

Double Countersunk.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

They are suitable for clean, dry, and low humidity environments.

Troubleshooting

Screw head shears off during installation.

Reduce driving torque, pre-drill, or use a screw with a larger diameter.

Screw doesn't fully countersink.

Ensure the pilot hole is deep enough. Adjust the driving speed.

Screw is difficult to insert.

Pre-drill, use more force, or consider a different screw type for harder materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to install due to the sharp point and wax lubrication.
Provides a strong and reliable hold in various materials.
The double countersunk head allows for a flush finish.
The yellow zinc coating offers some corrosion resistance.
Suitable for use with softwood, chipboard, MDF, and masonry (with a plug).

Cons

Requires pre-drilling in hardwoods.
Corrosion resistance is limited to clean, dry, and low humidity environments.
May require more effort to drive into dense materials without pre-drilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Preparation: Determine the appropriate screw length based on the thickness of the materials being joined.
Pre-Drilling: In hardwood or when working close to the edge of the material, pre-drill a pilot hole using a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's inner thread diameter (3.1mm).
Insertion: Use a PZ2 driver bit to insert the screw. Apply consistent pressure to ensure the screw goes in straight.
Finishing: Drive the screw until the head is flush with the surface of the material.

Compatibility

These screws are compatible with:

Softwood
Chipboard
MDF
Masonry (when used with a plastic plug)

Care

Store the screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid over-tightening the screws, as this can strip the threads or damage the surrounding material.
