Ulti-Mate Stick-Fit Woodscrews - 5.0 x 70mm - Gold

The patented Stick-Fit system is engineered to hold the screw securely onto the driver bit, enabling smooth, stable, and often one-handed installation. This reduces the chance of the screw falling off the bit, especially in awkward positions.

Yes, the drive system is designed for 100% compatibility with both POZI and Phillips driver bits. However, using the included Stick-Fit bits maximizes the benefit of the unique system.

The gold finish provides good corrosion resistance suitable for many outdoor applications, especially in protected environments. For highly exposed or coastal areas, stainless steel options might offer superior long-term protection.

They are suitable for a wide range, including hardwood, softwood, and man-made timber boards like MDF, plywood, chipboard, and OSB. They can also fasten sheet metal.

The Type-17 'slash' point is designed to drive through the hardest timber, often eliminating the need for pre-drilling. However, for very dense hardwoods or near the edge of timber to prevent splitting, pre-drilling a pilot hole is still recommended.

This specific Trade Tub contains 400 screws.

The double-angle head automatically creates a clean recess as the screw is driven, allowing the head to sit flush or slightly below the surface without manual countersinking. This provides a neat finish.

Ensure you are using the correct type of driver bit (Stick-Fit, POZI, or Phillips) and that it is fully engaged with the screw head. Reduce driving speed and torque if encountering excessive resistance.

Check that the pilot hole (if used) is appropriately sized for the screw's shank. Ensure the drill is held perpendicular to the surface.

Verify that the bit is a genuine Stick-Fit bit or a compatible POZI/Phillips bit in good condition. Clean any debris from the bit tip and the screw head recess.

This can occur in extremely dense hardwood or if the screw encounters an obstruction. Ensure you are using the correct screw length for the material thickness. Reduce driving speed and consider a pilot hole for very hard materials.
