Product Information

Full details

The TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws are designed for professional carpenters and general workshop users seeking robust timber-to-timber connections. Their key benefit lies in engineered clamping performance, preventing timber jacking and ensuring secure joints with reduced installation effort due to a specialized lubricant coating. A potential consideration is their specific design for timber applications, which may not be optimal for other materials.

FAQs

What does 'C2 Clamp-Fix' mean?

C2 refers to the specific range of TIMco screws, and 'Clamp-Fix' highlights their engineered clamping performance, designed to pull timbers together securely and prevent jacking.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the screws feature rust protection up to 20 times longer than standard zinc plating, making them suitable for outdoor timber applications where durability is required.

Can I use these screws in metal or plastic?

These screws are specifically engineered for timber-to-timber applications. Their performance and material properties are optimized for wood and may not be suitable or effective for metal or plastic.

What is the advantage of the TX drive?

The TX (Torx) drive recess provides a superior grip compared to Phillips or Pozidriv, significantly reducing the chance of cam-out (the driver slipping out of the screw head) and allowing for higher torque transfer.

How does the lubricant coating help?

The high-molecular polymer lubricant coating reduces insertion torque by up to 52%, meaning less force is required to drive the screw, making installation faster, easier, and reducing wear on power tools and the user.

What does 'timber jacking' mean and how do these screws prevent it?

Timber jacking is when a screw pushes timber apart as it's driven in, creating a gap. These screws are engineered with a dual-angle thread and twin-cut point designed to minimize this effect and actively pull timber elements together.

What is the box quantity?

Each box contains 200 TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during installation

Ensure you are using the correct size TX30 drive bit and that it is fully seated in the screw recess. Check if the drive bit is worn.

Timber splitting occurs

Pre-drill a pilot hole, especially in dense hardwoods. Ensure the pilot hole diameter is appropriate for the screw's core.

Screw doesn't drive easily

Confirm the pilot hole is adequate. If the pilot hole is correct, check for obstructions or potential issues with the timber itself. The lubricant coating should facilitate easy driving.

Screw head doesn't sit flush

Ensure the countersinking ribs are engaging with the timber. You may need to slightly enlarge the countersink area with a larger drill bit or countersink tool if the timber is very hard.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces timber splitting with twin-cut technology.
  • Up to 52% reduction in insertion torque for easier and faster installation.
  • Excellent pull-out resistance and clamping performance due to dual-angle threads.
  • Prevents cam-out for precise and controlled driving.
  • Promotes flush finishes without damaging the timber.
  • Superior rust protection for long-term durability.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for timber-to-timber applications; may not be suitable for other materials.
  • Requires a TX drive bit, which might not be as common as Phillips or Pozidriv in all toolkits.
  • The gold color might not be aesthetically suitable for all projects.
  • Bulk purchase (200 screws per box) may be excessive for small DIY tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Pilot Hole (Recommended): While the twin-cut point aids rapid penetration, pre-drilling a pilot hole, especially in hardwood, can further prevent splitting and ensure straight driving. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter.
  2. Drive Bit: Use a TX (Torx) drive bit that matches the recess size (TX30 for these screws) to ensure a secure fit and prevent cam-out.
  3. Insertion: Drive the screws straight using a power drill or impact driver. The lubricant coating allows for lower torque settings and faster insertion.

Compatibility:

  • Material: Specifically engineered for timber-to-timber connections. Suitable for softwoods, hardwoods, and engineered timber products.
  • Tools: Requires a TX30 driver bit. Compatible with standard power drills and impact drivers.

Care:

  • Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the lubricant coating and rust protection.
  • Clean tools after use to prevent residue buildup that could affect future installations.
