Product Information

Full details

REISSER Timber Connector Screws are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to join timber to timber securely and efficiently, particularly in outdoor applications. Their key benefit lies in their robust construction and innovative design features that ensure strong, long-lasting connections with minimal effort. A potential caveat to consider is their specific application for timber-to-timber connections, which may require different fasteners for other materials.

FAQs

What type of screwdriver bit do I need?

You will need a TXD (Torx Drive) bit that matches the size of the screw head. The packaging usually indicates the required bit size.

Can these screws be used for exterior projects?

Yes, the bronze Nano KTCO coating is tested for over 2000 hours of salt spray resistance, making them ideal for outdoor applications such as decks and fences.

Will these screws split wood near the edge?

The screws feature dual cutter slots specifically designed to minimize splitting when driven close to the timber edge.

Are these screws suitable for hardwoods?

Yes, they are made from specially hardened steel providing high tensile and torsional strength, making them suitable for various wood types, including hardwoods.

What is the advantage of the large flat washer head?

The large flat washer head provides greater tightening force, increased pull-through resistance, and better load distribution compared to countersunk or small hex heads, especially useful in warped boards.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

The 25-degree sharp point allows for a fast start and often eliminates the need for pre-drilling in many softwoods. For very hard woods or critical structural joints, pre-drilling a pilot hole might still be recommended.

What does the 'Rollet on the shaft' do?

The rollet on the shaft reduces drag and torsional forces during insertion, resulting in a faster and more efficient screw driving process.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during driving

Ensure you are using the correct size TXD bit and that it is fully seated in the screw head. Apply firm, consistent pressure during driving.

Timber splitting near the edge

Verify that the screw is being driven straight. The dual cutter slots are designed to minimize splitting; ensure they are engaging with the timber correctly. For very hard woods or near extreme edges, a pilot hole may still be beneficial.

Screw not driving smoothly

Check for obstructions in the timber or if the timber is unusually dense. Ensure the screw's thread is clean and undamaged. The rolled shaft is designed to reduce drag, but extremely hard wood may require more torque.

Screw head pulls through the timber

This is unlikely with the large washer head design. Ensure you are not over-tightening the screw, which could cause damage to the timber surface. If using in very soft wood, consider a washer if additional surface support is needed, though it typically negates the integrated washer head benefit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast and easy starting with sharp point.
  • Minimizes timber splitting near edges.
  • Efficient insertion reduces driving effort and time.
  • Secure torque transfer prevents cam-out.
  • Superior holding power with large washer head.
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant coating for outdoor use.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for timber-to-timber connections.
  • May require specific TXD driver bits.
  • Washer head is not suitable for flush finishes in all applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use REISSER Timber Connector Screws, ensure you have a power driver equipped with the correct TXD (Torx Drive) bit size corresponding to the screw head. Select the appropriate screw length for the combined thickness of the timbers being joined.

Compatibility: These screws are specifically designed for connecting timber to timber. They are suitable for use with treated and untreated softwoods and hardwoods. Ensure your timber is dry and free from excessive moisture before driving screws to achieve optimal performance.

Care: The bronze Nano KTCO coating provides excellent corrosion resistance. For ongoing maintenance, especially in harsh environments, periodically inspect connections. Clean any dirt or debris from the screws and surrounding timber using a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating. Store unused screws in their original packaging in a dry location to prevent premature corrosion.
