FAQs

Do these screws come with rawlplugs?

No, this pack contains only the 20 M8 coach screws; wall plugs must be purchased separately based on your wall material.

Can these be used outdoors?

Yes, the zinc plating provides a layer of protection against environmental factors, making them suitable for general outdoor use.

What tool do I need to install them?

A standard socket wrench or an impact driver with a correctly sized hex socket adapter is recommended.

What is the length of these screws?

This specific variant has a shaft length of 30mm.

Are these suitable for structural load-bearing?

Yes, they are engineered for structural applications, but please verify local building codes regarding the specific bolt diameter required for your load.

Can I use these in pressure-treated wood?

Yes, but ensure your project is in a standard environment; in highly corrosive or wet conditions, stainless steel may be a better long-term alternative.

Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to drive into wood

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct diameter; if the wood is very hard, increase the pilot hole size slightly.

Head is stripping or rounding off

Ensure the socket tool is fully seated on the bolt head and is the correct metric size.

Wood is splitting during installation

You are likely missing a pilot hole; always pre-drill to accommodate the bolt shank.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to install with standard hand or power tools
  • Durable steel construction prevents snapping under pressure
  • Zinc coating offers reliable protection against rust
  • Multi-material compatibility for wood and masonry
  • Ideal for structural projects requiring high grip

Cons

  • Requires pre-drilling holes for correct installation
  • Hex head requires adequate clearance for socket tools
  • Not intended for use in high-acidity treated timbers without coating verification

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, use a socket driver or a spanner that matches the head size of the screw. When using in wood, always mark your position clearly and drill a pilot hole first. If installing into masonry, ensure the hole is clear of debris before inserting the rawlplug and screw. For maintenance, while the zinc plating is durable, avoid using these in highly caustic environments. If the protective coating is scratched during installation, applying a touch of exterior-grade metal primer can help maintain long-term corrosion resistance.
