For woodworkers and builders tackling demanding projects, Unifix Timber Drive Screws offer exceptional durability and holding power. A key benefit is their resistance to corrosion, ensuring longevity in outdoor applications. However, their size may be overkill for lighter-duty tasks. These 7.0mm x 200mm screws feature a green organic coating for enhanced protection and a hex head for efficient driving, coming in a box of 50 with an included driver bit.

These screws are ideal for a wide range of timber types, including hardwoods and softwoods, particularly for outdoor applications due to their corrosion resistance. Their size makes them suitable for thicker lumber.
Yes, you can use them for indoor projects, especially if the project requires robust structural integrity. However, the green coating is primarily designed for external protection and might not align with all interior aesthetics.
The green organic coating provides enhanced protection against corrosion and rust, significantly increasing the screws' durability and lifespan, especially when exposed to moisture and outdoor elements.
These 7.0mm screws typically require a T25 or T30 Torx (star drive) bit, depending on the exact manufacturing specification, or a 5/16 inch hex bit. It is recommended to use the included driver bit for optimal fit.
Each box contains 50 Unifix Timber Drive Screws.
Yes, they are generally suitable for treated lumber. The green coating offers good protection against potential corrosion that can sometimes be exacerbated by certain wood treatments.
Product warranty information is typically detailed by the retailer or manufacturer upon purchase. Please refer to your point of sale for specific warranty details.
Ensure you are using the correct size hex bit. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly in line with the screw. If using a drill, set it to an appropriate torque setting; an impact driver may offer better control for tough materials.
Consider pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter. Use a more powerful drill or impact driver. Ensure the drill battery is fully charged.
Verify that the timber is sufficiently dense and that the screw is long enough to penetrate adequately into a solid section. For very soft woods, a pilot hole might be necessary to prevent excessive thread stripping.
While coated for protection, prolonged extreme exposure or contact with highly corrosive materials can affect the coating. Ensure screws are not left submerged in water or in direct contact with chemicals. If minor surface rust appears, it may not significantly impact structural integrity, but consider using a different fastener for highly critical or aesthetic applications if this occurs.
Setup: To use these screws, select an appropriate power drill or impact driver equipped with a hex (hexagonal socket) bit that matches the head of the screw. Ensure the drill is set to a suitable torque setting to avoid stripping the screw head or damaging the timber.
Compatibility: These screws are designed for driving into timber and similar wooden materials. They are compatible with most standard power drills and impact drivers that accept hex bits. The 7.0mm diameter and 200mm length are best suited for timbers with a minimum thickness of 25mm (1 inch) or more, depending on the desired holding depth.
Care: Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the green organic coating. Avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive substances. Clean any dust or debris from the screws before use if they have been stored for an extended period.
