FAQs

What does 'partially threaded' mean and why is it beneficial?

The partially threaded design (on screws 40mm and above) means the threads do not extend all the way to the head. This prevents the upper piece of timber from being 'jacked' or lifted upwards as the screw is tightened, resulting in a flatter, more secure joint.

What is the advantage of the 'Slash Point Tip'?

The Slash Point Tip (on screws 25mm and above) is designed to reduce the torque needed to start the screw and helps to prevent the timber from splitting, especially when working near the edge of a piece of wood.

Can these screws be used outdoors?

The Zinc & Yellow finish offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions, stainless steel screws are generally recommended.

What size driver bit do I need for these screws?

You will need a PZ2 driver bit for these Timco Velocity screws.

Are these screws suitable for metal?

These screws are primarily designed for wood and wood-based materials. While they might penetrate thin sheet metal in some applications, they are not specifically designed for metal fastening and may not provide adequate strength or hold.

How many screws are in this pack?

This specific pack contains 600 screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw head strips during driving.

Ensure you are using a PZ2 driver bit that is in good condition and properly seated in the screw head. Reduce driving speed and pressure if using an impact driver.

Timber splits when driving the screw.

Verify you are using screws of appropriate length. If screwing very close to the edge or in very hard timber, drill a pilot hole first. Ensure the slash point tip (on screws 25mm+) is engaging correctly.

Screw does not hold securely.

Check if the screw is long enough for the material. Ensure you are not over-driving the screw. The dual-angle thread design provides superior hold, so ensure it is properly engaged in the base material.

Difficulty driving the screw.

Confirm you are using adequate power from your drill/driver. Check that the material is suitable for this type of screw. The rapid drive twist cut should ensure smooth driving; if not, check for obstructions or potential damage to the screw tip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional pull-out resistance for secure and long-lasting connections.
  • Minimizes timber splitting and jacking, improving project aesthetics and integrity.
  • Versatile for use in a variety of materials.
  • Durable carbon steel construction with a corrosion-resistant finish.

Cons

  • Requires a specific PZ2 driver bit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Select the Correct Screw: Choose the appropriate length and type of Timco Velocity screw for your material and application.
  2. Use the Correct Driver Bit: These screws require a PZ2 driver bit. Ensure your drill or screwdriver is set to the correct setting for driving screws.
  3. Pilot Holes (Recommended): While the slash point tip helps prevent splitting, for very hard woods or when screwing very close to the edge, drilling a small pilot hole can further aid installation and prevent breakage.
  4. Drive the Screw: Apply firm, even pressure and drive the screw until the head is flush with the surface. The rapid drive twist cut allows for faster insertion.

Compatibility:

  • Materials: Suitable for use in softwoods, hardwoods, chipboard, MDF, and some plastics.
  • Tools: Compatible with standard drills and impact drivers equipped with a PZ2 bit.

Care:

  • Storage: Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the zinc and yellow finish.
  • Cleaning: If screws become dirty during use, wipe them clean with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
