FAQs

What is the difference between Pozidriv and Phillips?

Pozidriv has additional radial indentations, providing more points of contact for the screwdriver, reducing cam-out, and allowing for higher torque applications.

Can these screws be used outdoors?

Yes, the stainless steel construction makes them suitable for outdoor use, providing excellent corrosion resistance.

What size pilot hole should I use?

The pilot hole size should generally be slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter. Always consult a drill size chart based on the wood type.

Are these screws suitable for structural applications?

While these screws are strong, they may not be ideal for high-stress structural applications. Consult with a professional for structural requirements.

What is the length of the screws?

The screws are 40mm in length.

How many screws are in a pack?

There are 200 screws in each pack.

What material are these screws made of?

These screws are made from stainless steel.

What is the head type of the screws?

The screws have a countersunk head design.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping during installation

Use the correct size Pozidriv bit and avoid over-torquing. If stripping occurs, try a slightly larger screw or fill the hole and re-drill.

Screw not going in smoothly

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size. Increase pilot hole size slightly if needed, or apply wax to the screw threads.

Rust or corrosion appears on the screw head

Check if the screw is genuinely stainless steel, consider using a different grade of stainless steel or replacing the screws, especially if exposed to harsh environments.
