The TIMco TX25 C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws are engineered for professional carpenters and builders requiring strong, reliable timber-to-timber connections. Their key benefit is engineered clamping performance with reduced timber jacking, ensuring a flush finish and superior pull-out resistance. A minor consideration is their specialized application, best suited for timber joinery rather than mixed materials. These 5.0 x 60mm screws feature patented twin-cut technology, dual-angle threading, and a high-molecular polymer lubricant coating for effortless insertion and enhanced durability, supplied in a box of 200.

Their primary advantage is engineered clamping performance for timber-to-timber applications, featuring patented twin-cut technology and dual-angle threading to prevent timber jacking and provide exceptional pull-out resistance.
The high-molecular polymer lubricant coating reduces insertion torque by up to 52%, making the screws easier and faster to drive into timber, thus minimizing user fatigue.
Yes, they offer rust protection up to 20 times longer than standard zinc plating, making them suitable for many outdoor timber applications where durability and corrosion resistance are important.
You will need a TX25 (Torx T25) drive bit. Using the correct bit is crucial to prevent cam-out and ensure positive drive.
These screws are specifically engineered for timber-to-timber applications. While they might technically penetrate other materials, their performance characteristics (like preventing timber jacking) are optimized for wood.
Each box contains 200 screws.
Timber jacking is the lifting or upward movement of timber as a screw is driven. The dual-angle threading and specific design of these screws are engineered to counteract this effect, ensuring the timbers remain flush and stable.
Ensure you are using a T25 (TX25) drive bit and that it is fully seated in the screw recess. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly in line with the screw axis.
While designed to prevent splitting, very dense hardwoods or near-edge insertions might still pose a risk. Ensure the pilot hole is appropriate for the timber type if necessary, although the twin-cut technology often negates this need.
Verify that the drill bit used for the pilot hole (if any) or the pre-drilling for countersinking is correctly sized. Ensure the timber is not excessively hard or brittle. The under-head ribs assist, but proper technique is key.
Confirm that the driver has sufficient torque and the battery is adequately charged. The lubricant coating should reduce insertion torque significantly; if resistance is high, check for obstructions or incorrect pilot hole size.
Setup: These screws require a drill or impact driver equipped with a compatible TX25 bit for optimal performance and to prevent cam-out. Ensure the chosen bit is fully engaged with the screw recess before applying torque.
Compatibility: The TIMco TX25 C2 screws are specifically designed for timber-to-timber applications. They are ideal for softwoods and hardwoods. While they can be used in conjunction with appropriate timber connectors or in engineered wood products, their primary design intent is for solid timber fixings.
Care: As these screws feature advanced rust protection, minimal specific care is required. However, it is advisable to store them in a dry environment to preserve the lubricant coating and prevent premature degradation. Clean any debris from the screw head after installation if a perfectly flush finish is desired.
