FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the Stick-Fit drive system?
The primary advantage is its patented design that allows for smooth, stable driving and enables one-handed installation, which significantly improves user efficiency, especially in challenging positions.
Can I use these screws with my standard POZI or Phillips drill bits?
Yes, the Ulti-Mate Stick-Fit drive system is 100% compatible with standard POZI and Phillips driver bits, offering great flexibility in tool selection.
What types of materials can these screws be used in?
They are suitable for fixing hardwood, softwood, man-made timber boards (such as MDF, plywood, chipboard, and OSB), and sheet metal.
Does each Trade Tub include driver bits?
Yes, each Trade Tub of 500 screws includes two high-quality Stick-Fit Driver Bits.
What is the purpose of the Type-17 slash point?
The Type-17 slash point is designed to penetrate even the hardest timber effectively, reducing the likelihood of splitting and the need for pre-drilling.
How does the double-angle head contribute to the finish?
The double-angle self-countersinking head ensures that the screw head sits flush or slightly below the surface of the material, providing a neat and aesthetically pleasing finish.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
While designed for high performance, the product information does not specify outdoor-specific corrosion resistance. For exterior applications, it's advisable to consider the environmental exposure and consult with fastener specialists if long-term outdoor durability is critical.
Troubleshooting
Screw cam-out or stripping of the drive head.
Ensure you are using the correct size and type of driver bit (Stick-Fit, POZI, or Phillips). Apply consistent, firm pressure directly behind the screw head while driving. If using a standard driver bit, ensure it is fully engaged with the screw slot.
Screw not driving smoothly into hard timber.
Verify the Type-17 point is sharp and free of debris. For extremely dense hardwoods, consider a small pilot hole. Ensure your drill or impact driver has sufficient power and torque.
Screw head not sitting flush.
Confirm the material thickness is appropriate for a 60mm screw and that the countersinking head is not obstructed. Ensure the driving depth is not too shallow or too deep. The double-angle head is designed for self-countersinking.
Stick-Fit driver bit not engaging properly.
Ensure the driver bit and the screw head are clean and free from debris. Make sure the driver bit is fully inserted into the screw recess for optimal Stick-Fit performance. Check if the driver bit is worn and needs replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Select the appropriate driver bit for the Stick-Fit drive system (or a POZI/Phillips bit if using standard drivers).
Ensure the screw head is properly seated in the driver bit to engage the Stick-Fit mechanism, or that the POZI/Phillips bit is securely in the screw slot.
Position the screw at the desired location and drive it into the material using a power drill or impact driver.

The Stick-Fit drive system is designed for use with compatible power tools and driver bits.
It is also 100% compatible with standard POZI (PZ2 typically) and Phillips (PH2 typically) driver bits, allowing flexibility in tool choice.
Suitable for use in hardwood, softwood, man-made timber boards (MDF, plywood, chipboard, OSB), and sheet metal.
Care:
Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
Keep the Trade Tub closed when not in use.
Clean driver bits after use to maintain optimal engagement.
