FAQs

What is the benefit of the T-STAR Plus drive?

The T-STAR Plus drive ensures a secure grip, preventing the driver bit from slipping during insertion, which results in efficient and clean insertion.

Do I always need to pre-drill?

No, pre-drilling is often not required, especially in softwood. However, it is recommended for hardwood and when working near the edge of the wood to prevent splitting.

What does the WIROX coating do?

The WIROX coating provides excellent corrosion protection, increasing the screw's lifespan and making it suitable for outdoor use.

What kind of projects are these screws best for?

SPAX T-STAR Plus screws are great for decking, furniture assembly, cabinetry, and other woodworking projects where a flush finish and secure hold are needed.

What is the head type of these screws?

The screws have a flat countersunk head, designed to sit flush with the wood surface.

What is the 4CUT point?

The 4CUT point reduces wood splitting and tearing, making it easier to insert the screw, particularly in edge areas.

What size of SPAX T-STAR Plus screws are covered in this guide?

This guide specifically covers the 5mm x 40mm SPAX T-STAR Plus screws.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup
