TIMco TX30 C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws - 6.0 x 180mm - Yellow

The Clamp-Fix technology combines the patented twin-cut point for easy starting and reduced splitting with a dual-angle thread design that pulls timbers together securely, providing superior clamping force and pull-out resistance.

For most softwood applications, pre-drilling is not necessary due to the self-drilling twin-cut point. However, in very dense hardwoods or when precise alignment is critical, pre-drilling may be beneficial.

The high-molecular polymer lubricant coating reduces insertion torque by up to 52%. This makes driving the screws easier, faster, and reduces strain on your tools and yourself, especially when working with longer screws or harder timbers.

The ribs under the head are designed to help the screw countersink smoothly into the timber. This allows the screw head to sit flush with the surface for a clean, professional finish without damaging the surrounding wood.

TX30 refers to the specific type and size of the drive recess (Torx or star-shaped). Using the correct TX30 bit ensures a secure fit, prevents cam-out (where the bit slips out of the recess), and allows for maximum torque transfer for efficient driving.

The screws are coated to provide rust protection up to 20 times longer than standard zinc plating, offering excellent durability for extended use in various conditions.

Yes, the enhanced rust protection makes them suitable for exterior timber-to-timber applications where durability and resistance to corrosion are important.

Ensure you are using a correctly sized TX30 bit and that it is fully engaged in the screw recess. Apply firm, consistent pressure.

While designed to minimize splitting, for very brittle timber or near edges, consider a pilot hole. Ensure the twin-cut point is properly engaged before driving.

Verify the use of the lubricant coating; if it appears worn or damaged, consider a new screw. Ensure your driver bit is in good condition.

Ensure screws are stored in a dry environment. If used outdoors or in damp conditions, while corrosion resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can eventually affect any coating.
