Ulti-Mate Stick-Fit Woodscrews Tub 4.0 x 40mm (1000pk) - Gold
Patented Stick-Fit drive system allows smooth, stable driving and one-handed installation. 2x high...Patented Stick-Fit drive system allows smooth, stable driving and one-handed installation. 2x high-quality Stick-Fit Driver Bits included in every Trade Tub. Drive system is 100% compatible with POZI and Phillips driver bits. Features a Type-17 'slash' point to drive through the hardest timber and a double-angle self countersinking head for a neat finish. These trade-quality, high-performance woodscrews are suitable for fixing hardwood, softwood, man-made timber boards (e.g. MDF, plywood, chipboard & OSB), and sheet metal. Each tub contains 1000 screws and 2x Stick-Fit® Driver Bits. The Ulti-Mate® Wood Screw also features a wide, deep single thread for rapid insertion and strong holding power. Includes a wax lubricant finish for low-torque insertion and effortless driving.
This guide is for professional tradespeople and serious DIYers who need reliable, high-performance wood screws for demanding projects. The Ulti-Mate Stick-Fit Woodscrews offer a patented drive system for stable, one-handed installation and quick insertion, significantly improving efficiency on job sites. While exceptionally versatile, their specialized drive may require specific bits for optimal performance.

FAQs
What makes the Stick-Fit drive system different?
The Stick-Fit system is designed to 'grip' the driver bit more securely, reducing wobble and cam-out. This allows for stable, one-handed installation and a more positive driving experience compared to standard POZI or Phillips drives.
Do I need special driver bits?
No, the drive system is 100% compatible with standard POZI and Phillips bits. However, the included 2x high-quality Stick-Fit driver bits will provide the most stable and efficient performance.
Can these screws be used in sheet metal?
Yes, these woodscrews are suitable for fixing sheet metal to timber, providing a strong connection.
What types of wood are these screws best suited for?
They are ideal for hardwood, softwood, and man-made timber boards like MDF, plywood, chipboard, and OSB. The Type-17 point helps drive through the hardest timbers.
Will the screws require pre-drilling?
The Type-17 'slash' point is designed to drive through most timbers without pre-drilling. However, for extremely dense hardwoods or to prevent splitting in very brittle materials near edges, a pilot hole may still be advisable.
What is the benefit of the wax lubricant finish?
The wax lubricant reduces the friction (torque) required to drive the screw, making installation faster, easier, and less demanding on your power tools. It also helps prevent the wood from splitting.
How many screws are in a tub?
Each Trade Tub contains 1000 screws.
Troubleshooting
Screw cam-out during driving
Ensure you are using the correct driver bit size and type (POZI/Phillips or Stick-Fit). Verify the bit is fully seated on the screw head. Apply consistent, firm pressure.
Screw not penetrating hard timber
Confirm the timber is within the screw's intended application range. The Type-17 Slash Point is designed for hard timber, but extremely dense woods may benefit from a pilot hole. Ensure your drill/driver has sufficient torque.
Screw head doesn't sit flush (not countersinking)
Check the material's surface for obstructions. Ensure the drill/driver is perpendicular to the surface. For very hard materials, the countersink angle may not fully engage without slight splintering, though the double-angle head minimizes this.
Slow driving despite lubricant
Check for debris in the screw thread or material. Ensure your drill/driver is set to an appropriate speed and torque setting. The lubricant is most effective on initial insertion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Enhanced efficiency with one-handed installation and rapid insertion.
Reduced risk of cam-out due to the stable Stick-Fit drive system.
Versatile application across various timber types and sheet metal.
Clean finish achieved with self-countersinking head.
Durable holding power from the deep single thread design.
Lubricated finish for easier driving and less tool strain.
Cons
May require specific Stick-Fit driver bits for optimal performance (though compatible with POZI/Phillips).
The 40mm length may not be suitable for all project requirements.
Tub packaging, while economical for bulk, can be cumbersome for small jobs.
Specialized features like the Slash Point might be overkill for very soft woods.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Select the appropriate driver bit. While compatible with standard POZI and Phillips bits, using the included or recommended Stick-Fit driver bit ensures the most stable connection.
Ensure the screw head is seated correctly on the driver bit.
Position the screw at the desired location and begin driving.
Compatibility:
Driver Bits: Fully compatible with POZI (PZ) and Phillips (PH) drive systems. Recommended use with included Stick-Fit bits for optimal performance.
Materials: Suitable for hardwood, softwood, man-made timber boards (MDF, plywood, chipboard, OSB), and sheet metal.
Care:
Store screws in their original Trade Tub in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
Keep driver bits clean for consistent performance.
Avoid over-driving screws, especially into softer materials, to maintain the integrity of the workpiece.
