FAQs

What is the benefit of the twin thread?

The twin thread design provides increased holding power, making the screws more secure.

What materials are these screws suitable for?

They are suitable for softwoods, hardwoods, chipboards, and fibreboards.

Why is there a wax coating on the screws?

The wax coating facilitates faster and easier insertion by reducing friction.

What type of screwdriver bit should I use?

Use a Pozidriv compatible screwdriver bit.

What does a countersunk head mean?

A countersunk head is designed to sit flush with the surface of the material.

Do I need to pre-drill when using these screws?

Pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods to prevent splitting.

How should I store these screws?

Store the screws in a dry place to prevent rust.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping during insertion.

Ensure the correct size Pozidriv bit is used and apply firm, even pressure. Reduce the torque if using a power drill.

Screw not going in smoothly.

Check the pilot hole size (if applicable) and consider using a wax-coated screw for easier insertion, or try applying soap to the screw threads.

Screw head not flush with the surface.

Adjust the driving depth. If using a power drill, adjust the clutch setting to prevent over-driving.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increased holding power due to the twin thread design.
  • Easy insertion thanks to the sharp point and wax coating.
  • Versatile use across a range of materials.
  • The countersunk head allows for a flush finish.
  • Pozidriv compatibility ensures a secure drive.

Cons

  • Requires the correct Pozidriv bit for optimal use.
  • The finish may vary slightly between batches.
  • Care must be taken to avoid over-tightening.
  • Requires pre-drilling in some hardwoods to prevent splitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Selection: Choose the correct screw length based on the thickness of the materials being joined. Ensure the screw is long enough to provide sufficient grip but not so long that it protrudes.
  2. Tools: Use a Pozidriv screwdriver or drill bit that matches the screw head. A drill with adjustable torque is recommended to avoid over-tightening.
  3. Pre-Drilling: For hardwoods, pre-drilling a pilot hole is advisable to prevent the wood from splitting. Select a drill bit size slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter.
  4. Insertion: Apply firm, even pressure when driving the screw. The wax coating will help with the insertion process. Stop when the head is flush with the surface.
  5. Care: Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid using excessive force when tightening.
