They feature recessed ribs for improved countersinking and reduced surface dust, along with reinforced countersunk necks that enhance holding power. The patented drill and drive thread minimizes timber splitting, reduces 'jacking' and spinning of joined timber, and increases pull-out strength for a firmer fix. A sharp point allows for faster bite and can pierce 0.8mm steel. These screws boast an 'Elementech 400' coating, providing an anti-corrosive metal finish that lasts up to 6 times longer than standard zinc coatings. This environmentally friendly coating is Cr6+ free and Salt Spray tested to 400 hours, making the screws suitable for interior use. Each box includes a Torx® compatible bit.
