Product Information

Full details

The Reisser R2 Multi-Purpose Screw (5.0 x 80mm, Yellow) is designed for builders and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable fastening in all timber and board materials. Its key benefit is effortless penetration and high pull-out resistance due to its unique thread design and needle point, often eliminating the need for pilot holes. A minor caveat is that while corrosion-resistant, the yellow tropicalized coating may not be suitable for extreme marine environments without additional protection. This guide covers its features, performance, and care.

FAQs

Do I need to drill a pilot hole for these screws?

In most cases, the 25-degree needle point and sharp thread design allow these screws to penetrate timber and board materials without a pilot hole. However, for very hard woods or precise alignment in critical joints, a pilot hole may still be beneficial.

What type of drill bit do I need?

You will need a Pozi drive (PZ) bit, typically a PZ2 size for this 5.0 x 80mm screw, to fit the countersunk head recess.

How resistant are these screws to rust?

The yellow tropicalised coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc-plated (BZP) coatings. They are suitable for use in damp environments but may require additional protection for prolonged exposure to harsh, salty conditions.

What does 'CE Accredited' mean?

CE accreditation indicates that the product meets the health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).

Can I use these screws for exterior projects?

For general exterior use where they won't be in constant direct contact with moisture or harsh weather, the corrosion resistance is generally adequate. For highly exposed or marine environments, consider stainless steel screws.

What makes the driving resistance lower?

The combination of the sharp, wide, deep thread design and the unique Reisser lubrication significantly reduces the friction against the material, allowing the screw to drive more easily.

How many screws are in this pack?

This pack contains 200 Reisser R2 Multi-Purpose Screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw fails to penetrate material

Ensure the needle point is properly engaged with the surface. For exceptionally hard materials, a small pilot hole might be beneficial. Check that your drill is set to the correct rotation direction (clockwise for driving).

Screw head strips or cam-out occurs

Verify you are using the correct Pozi drive bit (PZ2). Ensure the bit is fully seated in the screw head recess and apply consistent downward pressure. Reduce drill torque if over-driving.

Screw breakage during driving

Check that the material is not excessively dense for the screw size. Reduce driving speed and ensure the drill is not set to an impact mode unless intended for the material. The hardened steel should prevent breakage in normal use.

Screw does not drive straight

Ensure the screw is started perpendicular to the surface. A slight angle can cause it to veer off course. For critical applications, a pilot hole can help guide the screw initially.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Pilot hole often unnecessary, saving time.
  • Reduced driving resistance for easier installation.
  • High tensile and torsional strength prevents breakage.
  • Excellent pull-out resistance ensures secure fixings.
  • Superior corrosion resistance from yellow tropicalised coating.
  • Minimized cam-out due to reinforced Pozi drive.

Cons

  • Yellow coating may not be sufficient for prolonged saltwater exposure.
  • Specific size (5.0 x 80mm) may not suit all applications.
  • Pozi drive requires a compatible Pozi bit, not standard Phillips.
  • Requires appropriate power tool torque to avoid stripping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate driver bit for the Pozi drive recess (typically PZ2 for this size).
  2. Ensure your drill or impact driver is set to the correct torque setting to avoid over-driving or stripping the screw head.
  3. Position the screw at the desired location. For most timbers, a pilot hole is not required.
  4. Apply firm pressure and drive the screw using your power tool.

Compatibility:

  • Materials: Suitable for all types of timber, chipboard, MDF, and other board materials.
  • Driver Bits: Requires a Pozi drive (PZ) bit.
  • Tools: Compatible with standard drills and impact drivers.

Care:

  • Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the coating.
  • Clean any dust or debris from the screws before driving.
  • While the coating offers good corrosion resistance, avoid prolonged direct exposure to harsh, salty environments without further protection.
