FAQs

What size drill bit should I use for pre-drilling in wood?

Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the core diameter of the screw (the diameter without the threads).

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

While the black phosphate coating provides some corrosion resistance, these screws are best suited for indoor applications. For outdoor use, consider screws specifically designed for outdoor environments.

What is the head type of these screws?

These screws have a countersunk head, which allows for a flush finish.

How many screws are in a pack?

This pack contains 1000 screws.

Can I use these screws for attaching drywall to concrete?

No, these screws are not designed for concrete. You will need specialized screws designed for concrete applications.

What is the diameter of the screws?

The diameter of the screws is 3.5mm.

What material are these screws made from?

They are made from durable carbon steel.

Troubleshooting

Screw is not driving flush.

Adjust the clutch setting on your drill/driver. Ensure the correct countersink bit is being used. If the material is too hard, pre-drill a pilot hole.

Screw head is stripping.

Reduce the driving speed and pressure. Ensure the correct screwdriver bit is used and is in good condition.

Screw is not holding.

Ensure the correct screw length is used. Check the stud type (metal or wood) and use appropriate technique and pre-drilling where necessary.

Pros and Cons

  • Versatile application for both metal and wood.
  • Corrosion-resistant coating for increased lifespan.
  • Countersunk head allows for a flush and professional finish.
  • Durable carbon steel construction provides reliable performance.
  • Fine thread design ensures a secure hold in various materials.

Cons

  • 35mm length may not be suitable for all plasterboard thicknesses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: These screws are compatible with most standard plasterboard, metal studs, and wood.
  2. Installation: Use a screw gun or drill with a countersink bit for optimal installation. Drive the screw until the head is flush with the surface.
  3. Care: Avoid over-tightening the screws, as this can damage the plasterboard or strip the threads. In wet environments, consider applying a sealant to prevent corrosion.
