FAQs
What size drill bit should I use for pre-drilling?
Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter. This will vary depending on the wood type and the specific screw.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
While the yellow zinc plating provides some corrosion resistance, they are best suited for indoor applications. For outdoor projects, consider screws specifically designed for exterior use.
Can I use these screws with hardwood?
Yes, but pre-drilling is essential. Consider using screws specifically designed for hardwood if you experience difficulty.
What type of screwdriver bit do I need?
These screws require a PZ (Pozidriv) bit. Ensure the bit fits snugly into the screw head to avoid stripping.
How many screws are in a pack?
Each pack contains 100 screws.
What is the length of the screws?
The screws are 30mm in length.
What material are these screws made of?

Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping during installation.
Reduce the driving speed, use the correct screwdriver bit size, and apply steady pressure. If the screw is stripped, try using a slightly larger screw or filling the hole with wood filler and re-drilling.
Screw not sinking flush.
Ensure the pilot hole is correctly sized, and the countersink head is properly seated. If necessary, use a countersink bit to create a larger recess for the screw head.
Screw breaking during installation.
Pre-drill with the correct pilot hole size. If the wood is very dense, consider using a different screw type designed for harder materials.
