Product Information

Full details

The Reisser R2 Woodscrews are designed for professional woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts seeking reliable performance in all timber and board materials. Their key benefit is exceptional ease of driving with up to 40% less resistance, minimizing effort and tool strain. A potential caveat is that while they penetrate most timbers without a pilot hole, extremely dense hardwoods might still benefit from pre-drilling.

FAQs

Do I need to drill a pilot hole for these screws?

For most timbers and board materials, the 25-degree needle point allows the Reisser R2 Woodscrews to penetrate without a pilot hole. However, for extremely dense hardwoods, pre-drilling a pilot hole may still be beneficial.

What type of screwdriver bit do I need?

You need a Pozi drive (PZ) screwdriver bit. The reinforced recess is designed for a good fit to minimize cam-out.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the yellow tropicalised coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard BZP coatings, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. For constant exposure to harsh weather, additional protection might be advisable.

What does 'Tropicalised' mean for the coating?

Tropicalised is a type of coating that offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making the screws more durable and longer-lasting, particularly in environments prone to moisture or humidity.

How does the thread design reduce driving resistance?

The sharp, wide, and deep thread, combined with Reisser's unique lubrication, creates less friction as the screw enters the material, allowing for easier and faster driving.

What is the benefit of the reinforced Pozi drive recess?

The deeper and reinforced recess ensures a more secure fit with the driver bit, significantly reducing the chance of the bit slipping out (cam-out) and damaging the screw head or the surrounding material.

Can I use these screws in MDF or chipboard?

Yes, the Reisser R2 Woodscrews are specifically designed for consistent performance in all timbers and board materials, including MDF and chipboard.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during driving

Ensure you are using the correct size Pozi drive (PZ) bit. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly in line with the screw. Check if the screw is entering the material at a straight angle.

Screw not penetrating the material

For very dense hardwoods, a pilot hole may be necessary. Ensure your drill is set to the correct speed and torque. Check if the tip of the screw is damaged.

Screw head strips

This is often caused by using the wrong driver bit or excessive force. If the head is stripped, you may need to use pliers or a screw extractor to remove it. Future screws should be driven with the correct bit and appropriate pressure.

Corrosion observed on screws

While the yellow tropicalised coating offers superior resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh, wet conditions can still lead to corrosion. Ensure screws are stored in a dry place before use and consider additional protective coatings for extreme environments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless driving due to reduced resistance.
  • No pilot hole needed for most timber types.
  • High tensile and torsional strength prevents breakage.
  • Superior corrosion resistance for durability.
  • Reduced cam-out for a cleaner finish and better engagement.

Cons

  • May require pilot holes in very dense hardwoods.
  • Specific Pozi drive bit required for optimal performance.
  • Yellow coating may not be suitable for all aesthetic applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you are using the correct Pozi drive (PZ) screwdriver bit size for the screw's recess to prevent cam-out and damage to the screw head or bit. Select the appropriate screw length for the material thickness being joined.

Compatibility: The Reisser R2 Woodscrews are designed for use in a wide range of timber and board materials, including softwood, hardwood, MDF, and chipboard. They are compatible with standard power drills and impact drivers.

Care: Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the yellow tropicalised coating and prevent premature corrosion. After use, clean any dust or debris from the screw heads if they are to remain exposed.
