Product Information

Full details

The TIMco C2 Strong-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable fastening across wood, metal, and plastic. Their key benefit lies in the patented twin-cut point and advanced polymer coating, which ensure rapid, effortless insertion with superior holding power and exceptional rust resistance. A potential caveat is their specialized design, which may not be optimal for extremely soft woods where alternative fixings might be preferred.

FAQs

What does 'PZ2' refer to?

PZ2 refers to the PoziDriv type and size of the screw head recess. It is a common drive type for screws, designed to offer better engagement and reduced cam-out compared to Phillips head screws.

Can I use these screws for exterior projects?

Yes, the advanced polymer coating provides rust protection up to 20 times longer than standard zinc plating, making them suitable for many exterior applications. However, prolonged exposure to harsh marine environments may require additional protective measures.

What is the advantage of the 'twin-cut point'?

The patented twin-cut point allows for faster screw pickup (easier to start driving) and significantly reduces the tendency for timber to split, especially near edges or in thinner pieces.

How much easier is it to drive these screws compared to others?

The high molecular polymer coating can reduce insertion torque by up to 52%, meaning less force is required to drive the screw, leading to faster installation and reduced user fatigue.

Are these screws suitable for metal applications?

Yes, they are engineered for fastening into metal, as well as wood and plastic. The strong clamping performance and pull-out resistance make them suitable for many metal-to-metal or metal-to-wood connections.

What is the thread length on a 5.0 x 100mm screw?

The 5.0 x 100mm screw has a thread length of 70mm.

How many screws are in a box?

A box of these TIMco C2 Strong-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws contains 1000 screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during insertion

Ensure you are using a correct-sized PZ2 driver bit and that it is fully seated in the screw recess. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly behind the drill/driver.

Difficulty driving the screw

If experiencing significant resistance, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole. Ensure your drill/driver has sufficient power and is set to an appropriate speed. The high molecular polymer coating is designed to reduce torque, but very dense materials may still require more effort.

Timber splitting

While the twin-cut point significantly reduces splitting, very brittle or knotty timber can still be prone to it. Try slightly reducing insertion speed or pre-drilling a pilot hole closer to the edge of the timber.

Poor rust resistance in harsh conditions

These screws offer superior resistance, but no fastener is completely immune to extreme environmental corrosion. Ensure screws are not constantly submerged or exposed to highly acidic/alkaline conditions without further protective measures if prolonged submersion is expected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduced timber splitting due to the twin-cut point.
  • Easier and faster installation with significantly reduced insertion torque.
  • Exceptional durability and corrosion resistance for long-term performance.
  • Improved grip and clamping force for secure fastenings.
  • Precise driving with minimal risk of cam-out.

Cons

  • May not be the most cost-effective option for very large, non-demanding DIY projects.
  • Requires a Pozi drive bit, which is standard but must be available.
  • Specific thread design might be overkill for very light-duty applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These screws are designed for direct insertion using a power drill or impact driver equipped with a Pozi PZ2 bit. Ensure the bit is fully engaged in the screw recess to prevent cam-out. For optimal results, especially in hardwoods, pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw's minor diameter is recommended, though often not strictly necessary due to the advanced point design.

Compatibility: The TIMco C2 Strong-Fix screws are engineered for use in wood, metal, and plastic materials. They are compatible with standard PZ2 drivers.

Care: Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the advanced polymer coating. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive substances. Clean any dust or debris from the screws after installation as needed.
