Product Information

Full details

The Ulti-Mate II Stick-Fit screws are designed for tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts needing a high-performance, versatile screw for various wood and sheet metal applications. Their key benefit lies in the Stick-Fit® driver bit and Pozisquare® recess, enabling easy, stable one-handed driving. A potential caveat is the need for appropriate pre-drilling for very dense materials to fully leverage the slotted shank.

FAQs

What is Stick-Fit® technology?

Stick-Fit® technology means the screw adheres firmly to the included driver bit. This allows for easier, more stable one-handed driving and positioning of the screw.

Can these screws be used with any drill?

Yes, they can be used with most standard drills or impact drivers. You will need a Pozisquare® compatible driver bit, ideally the one provided with the box.

What materials are these screws suitable for?

They are suitable for hardwood, softwood, engineered timber boards like MDF, plywood, chipboard, OSB, and also sheet metal.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

While the sharp point and slotted shank reduce the need for pre-drilling in many softwoods, it is recommended for very hard woods or dense engineered materials to ensure easy insertion and prevent splitting.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

The zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for prolonged exposure to harsh weather, stainless steel or coated exterior-grade screws might offer superior longevity.

What does CE approved mean?

CE marking indicates that the product meets European health, safety, and environmental protection standards, signifying compliance with relevant regulations.

How many screws are in a box?

This specific pack contains 100 screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out or stripping

Ensure the Stick-Fit® driver bit is fully engaged in the Pozisquare® recess. Use moderate pressure and a consistent driving speed. If stripping persists, try a new driver bit or a slightly smaller pilot hole.

Wood splitting during insertion

For very hard or brittle wood, pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter. Ensure the slotted shank is properly seated to relieve pressure.

Screw not starting easily

Verify the sharp point is clean and free of debris. Ensure you are starting the screw perpendicular to the surface. For very hard materials, a small pilot hole may be beneficial.

Screw head not sitting flush

For screws 45mm and above, the ribs on the head should assist countersinking. Ensure the material is not too hard for the ribs to function, or a slightly larger pilot hole for the head may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional one-handed driving capability due to Stick-Fit® and Pozisquare® features.
  • Versatile application across multiple wood types and sheet metal.
  • Reduced risk of material splitting thanks to the slotted shank.
  • Quick and easy start-up reduces installation time and effort.
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant finish for longevity.

Cons

  • Requires specific Stick-Fit® driver bit (included, but can be lost).
  • May require pre-drilling in very hard woods to prevent splitting, despite slotted shank.
  • Yellow color might be visible in some aesthetic applications where concealment is paramount.
  • Performance with very thick sheet metal may depend on pilot hole size and tool power.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a drill or impact driver compatible with the provided Stick-Fit® driver bit.
  2. Select the appropriate drill bit for pilot holes if working with very hard woods or dense engineered boards.
  3. Attach the Stick-Fit® driver bit to your tool.
  4. Place the screw onto the bit; it should adhere firmly.

Compatibility:

  • Wood: Hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood, chipboard, OSB.
  • Metal: Compatible with sheet metal (thickness may vary based on pilot hole and tool power).
  • Driver: Requires a Pozisquare® (or equivalent) compatible driver bit, ideally the provided Stick-Fit® type for optimal performance.

Care:

  • Store screws in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion of the zinc plating.
  • Keep the Stick-Fit® driver bit with the box of screws to avoid loss.
  • Clean any dust or debris from the screw head before driving to ensure a proper fit with the driver bit.
