Product Information

Full details

The Ulti-Mate Stick-Fit Woodscrews are trade-quality, high-performance fasteners designed for demanding timber and sheet metal applications. Ideal for professional woodworkers and construction workers, these screws offer a patented Stick-Fit drive system for smooth, stable, and one-handed installation. A key benefit is their versatility across various timber types and sheet metal. One potential consideration is the specific compatibility of the Stick-Fit system with certain non-compatible driver bit types. Key features include a Type-17 slash point for hard timber, a double-angle self-countersinking head, and a wax lubricant finish for reduced insertion torque.

FAQs

What materials can these screws be used with?

These screws are suitable for fixing hardwood, softwood, man-made timber boards (like MDF, plywood, chipboard, OSB), and sheet metal.

What is the advantage of the Stick-Fit drive system?

The patented Stick-Fit drive system allows for smooth, stable driving and enables one-handed installation, making it easier to work in awkward positions or when you only have one hand free.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

The yellow zinc plated finish provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many professional woodworking and construction applications. For highly corrosive environments or prolonged direct exposure to weather, consider specialized coatings.

Can I use my existing Phillips head drill bits with these screws?

Yes, the drive system is 100% compatible with both POZI and standard Phillips driver bits. However, using the included Stick-Fit driver bits optimizes the one-handed installation feature.

What does 'Type-17 slash point' mean?

The Type-17 slash point is a specific cutting tip design that allows the screw to penetrate hard timber more easily and efficiently, reducing the chance of splitting the wood.

How many screws are included in the Trade Tub?

Each Trade Tub contains 350 screws.

Do I need to pre-drill holes for these screws?

The Type-17 point is designed to drive through the hardest timber without pre-drilling. However, for extremely dense hardwoods or to prevent splitting in sensitive materials, pre-drilling a pilot hole may still be beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Screw head strips during driving

Ensure you are using a compatible POZI or Phillips driver bit. Check if the Stick-Fit driver bit is worn. Reduce driving speed and torque, and ensure the screw is entering the material straight.

Screw does not countersink properly

Verify that the head is making full contact with the material surface. Ensure the timber is not excessively hard for the screw's countersinking capability, or consider a slightly slower driving speed.

Difficulty driving screw into hard timber

Confirm the Type-17 slash point is clear of debris. Ensure your drill has sufficient power. The wax lubricant aids insertion; if resistance is still high, consider a pilot hole, especially in extremely dense hardwoods.

Stick-Fit driver bit slips out of screw head

Ensure the Stick-Fit driver bit is fully seated in the screw head. Use moderate pressure and a consistent driving angle. If using a standard POZI/Phillips bit, ensure it is the correct size and in good condition.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • One-handed installation capability with Stick-Fit system
  • Excellent performance in hardwood, softwood, and sheet metal
  • Self-countersinking head provides a clean finish
  • Reduced insertion torque due to wax lubricant
  • Broad compatibility with common driver bit types (POZI/Phillips)
  • Durable construction with corrosion-resistant plating

Cons

  • Stick-Fit system may require specific handling for optimal performance
  • Best performance achieved with compatible Stick-Fit driver bits
  • Yellow zinc plating may not be suitable for all exterior environments demanding higher corrosion resistance
  • 350-piece tub quantity might be too large for small DIY projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves selecting the appropriate screw size for your material thickness and ensuring your drill or impact driver is set to the correct torque setting. For the Stick-Fit system, ensure the driver bit is securely engaged with the screw head before driving.

Compatibility: The Ulti-Mate Stick-Fit drive system is 100% compatible with both standard POZI and Phillips driver bits. However, to fully leverage the Stick-Fit technology for one-handed installation, use the included high-quality Stick-Fit Driver Bits.

Care: Store screws in their original Trade Tub in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. After use, clean any dust or debris from the screws if they are to be reused in a non-structural capacity, though reuse is generally not recommended for critical structural fastenings. Regularly check driver bits for wear to ensure optimal performance with the Stick-Fit system.
