FAQs
What does 'Clamp-Fix' refer to?
'Clamp-Fix' refers to the screw's design that pulls timber components together securely, preventing them from separating or 'jacking' apart, thus providing a strong clamping action.
What is the difference between this screw and a standard wood screw?
These screws feature patented twin-cut technology for better pick-up and less splitting, a special dual-angle thread for higher pull-out resistance, a precision TX drive to prevent cam-out, and a polymer coating for reduced insertion torque and superior corrosion protection, unlike standard wood screws.
What is 'timber jacking' and how do these screws prevent it?
Timber jacking is when timber separates or lifts apart during fastening. These screws are engineered with a specific thread design and head geometry to counteract this tendency, keeping timber firmly joined.
What driver bit do I need for these screws?
You will need a TX30 driver bit for the precision TX drive recess.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, they have a Corrosion Rating 2 (CR2) which means they are suitable for occasionally damp/wet, rural, and sheltered areas due to their enhanced rust protection. For highly exposed or coastal environments, higher corrosion ratings would be recommended.
Can I use these screws for metal to timber connections?
While primarily designed for timber-to-timber, their description indicates suitability for thin sheet metal in conjunction with timber, thanks to the advanced clamping and drive features.
What is the purpose of the ribs under the screw head?
The ribs are designed to help the screw head sink cleanly into the timber, creating a flush or recessed finish without damaging the surrounding wood.
Troubleshooting
Screw head not sitting flush
Ensure you are using the correct TX30 bit and applying steady pressure. The ribs under the head are designed for countersinking; if the timber is very soft, slight overdriving may occur. Check for any obstructions on the timber surface.
Difficulty driving the screw
Verify that the TX30 bit is fully engaged in the recess. Ensure your drill or driver has sufficient power. The polymer coating is designed to reduce torque, so difficulty may indicate a harder wood or an issue with the driving tool.
Timber splitting during insertion
Confirm the use of the patented twin-cut point. For very hard or brittle timber, pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter can further mitigate splitting risk, although the twin-cut technology is designed to minimize this.
Screw cam-out (bit slipping)
Ensure you are using a good quality, correctly sized TX30 bit. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly in line with the screw axis. Check the driver bit for wear and replace if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Prevents timber 'jacking' for stronger, more stable connections.
Rapid screw pick-up and reduced splitting with twin-cut technology.
High resistance to pull-out due to the dual-angle thread design.
Easier and faster installation with reduced insertion torque.
Superior corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc plating.
Precision drive minimizes cam-out for confident fastening.
Cons
Requires a specific TX30 driver bit.
Primarily designed for timber; performance on other materials may vary.
Yellow zinc and yellow finish may not suit all aesthetic requirements.
Higher cost compared to basic timber screws.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure you are using a TX30 driver bit with your drill or impact driver.
Select the appropriate screw length for your application, ensuring adequate thread engagement.
Drive the screws straight into the timber, allowing the countersunk head and ribs to achieve a flush finish.
