Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these screws be used outdoors?

Yes, A2-304 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and suitable for most outdoor, non-marine environments.

What is the head type of these screws?

These screws feature a Pozi countersunk head, designed to sit flush with the surface.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

While they are self-tapping, pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended for hardwoods to prevent splitting.

Are these screws magnetic?

A2-304 stainless steel is generally non-magnetic, though some minor magnetism may occur due to the cold-working process during manufacturing.

What does '6G' mean?

6G refers to the gauge or diameter of the screw, which is approximately 3.5mm.

How many screws are in the box?

Each box contains 1000 individual screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw head strips during installation

Ensure you are using the correct size Pozi bit and decrease your drill's torque setting to prevent over-driving.

Difficulty driving screw into dense material

Create a pilot hole using a slightly smaller drill bit to guide the screw and reduce friction.

Surface rust appears after installation

Ensure no carbon steel particles or abrasive dust from nearby metal cutting are on the surface, as these can cause 'tea staining' on stainless steel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to A2-304 stainless steel
  • High-volume box of 1000 screws offers great value for large projects
  • Countersunk head ensures a flush, aesthetic finish
  • Reliable self-tapping performance in thin-gauge metal and wood

Cons

  • Pozi drive can cam-out if the incorrect bit size is used
  • Requires pilot holes when working with denser hardwoods
  • Not intended for heavy-duty structural load-bearing steel connections

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, always use a high-quality Pozi drive bit that matches the screw head size exactly. While the screws are self-tapping in many metals, it is recommended to drill a small pilot hole when working with extremely hard woods to prevent the screw from snapping or the wood from splitting. Keep the screws in their original storage box in a dry area to prevent cross-contamination with carbon steel tools, which can cause surface oxidation on stainless steel fasteners over time.
