FAQs
What is the Stick-Fit drive system?
The Stick-Fit drive system is designed to hold the screw onto the driver bit, allowing for stable, one-handed installation. This makes it easier to position and drive screws, especially in tight spaces or when working alone.
What is the HEXSTIX recess?
The HEXSTIX recess is a patented design in the screw head that maximizes torque transfer from the driver bit to the screw. This results in more efficient driving and reduces the risk of cam-out (the bit slipping out of the recess).
Can I use a standard screwdriver bit?
Yes, while the HEXSTIX recess is optimized for maximum torque, the screw head is also compatible with a standard T20 driver bit. However, using the recommended bit will provide the best performance.
What materials can these screws be used in?
These screws are suitable for a wide range of materials including hardwood, softwood, man-made timbers, and sheet metal.
What does the wax lubricant coating do?
The wax coating acts as a lubricant, reducing the friction and torque required to drive the screw. This allows for faster insertion and puts less strain on your drill and yourself.
How do I achieve a flush finish?
The double-angle countersunk head with ribs helps the screw head sit flush or slightly below the surface of the material when driven correctly. Ensure the material can accommodate the countersink for a neat finish.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
The Zinc & Yellow coating provides good corrosion resistance for many applications. For prolonged or severe outdoor exposure, consider screws with enhanced rust protection.
Troubleshooting
Screw head strips during insertion
Ensure you are using the correct T20 driver bit. Apply firm, consistent pressure and avoid over-driving the screw, especially in softer materials.
Screw not biting into material
Check that the material is suitable (hardwood, softwood, etc.). Ensure the pilot hole is appropriately sized if one is being used. The sharp point should provide a quick bite in most applications.
Difficulty driving screws
Verify the use of a T20 driver bit. Ensure the wax coating is intact. If resistance is very high, a slightly larger pilot hole may be needed in dense hardwoods.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent torque transfer with HEXSTIX recess.
- One-handed installation possible due to Stick-Fit drive.
- Rapid insertion with low torque thanks to wax coating.
- Durable and strong construction for reliable fastening.
- Provides a neat, flush finish.
Cons
- Requires a T20 driver bit for optimal performance (though standard bits can work).
- Specific size (4.0 x 30mm) may not be suitable for all projects.
- Gold (Zinc & Yellow) finish may not be desired for all aesthetic applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These screws are designed for direct use. Ensure you have a T20 driver bit for the best results, though a standard T20 bit can also be used. A power drill or impact driver is recommended to take full advantage of the drive system.
Compatibility:
- Materials: Suitable for hardwood, softwood, man-made timbers (like MDF or plywood), and sheet metal.
- Driver Bits: Primarily designed for the HEXSTIX recess, with a T20 drive. A standard T20 driver bit is compatible.
Care:
Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, though the Zinc & Yellow coating offers good protection. Keep the box or container closed to avoid loss.
