Product Information

Full details

The TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws are designed for professional carpenters, joiners, and builders working with timber-to-timber applications. Their key benefit is preventing timber 'jacking' for secure, stable connections, while a potential caveat is their specific TX drive recess requiring a compatible bit. These screws feature patented twin-cut point technology, a high-molecular polymer lubricant coating for reduced insertion torque, a dual angle thread for superior pull-out resistance, and ribs under the head for improved countersinking.

FAQs

What makes the C2 Clamp-Fix screws different from standard screws?

The C2 Clamp-Fix screws feature patented twin-cut point technology, a special lubricant coating reducing torque, a dual angle thread for higher pull-out resistance, and under-head ribs for better countersinking. They are specifically engineered to prevent timber 'jacking'.

What type of screwdriver bit do I need?

You will need a TX20 driver bit.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they have corrosion resistance up to 20 times longer than standard zinc plating (Corrosion Rating 2), making them suitable for occasionally damp/wet, rural, and sheltered areas.

Can I use these screws for metal applications?

They are suitable for thin sheet metal, but their primary design and performance benefits are optimized for timber and wood-based materials.

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

Timber jacking is when timber separates or lifts apart during fastening. The dual angle thread and specific design of these screws actively counteract this tendency, ensuring a more stable and secure timber-to-timber connection.

What is the advantage of the lubricant coating?

The high-molecular polymer lubricant coating reduces insertion torque by up to 52%, making the screws easier and faster to drive, reducing wear on tools, and minimizing user fatigue.

What is the difference between the thread diameter and the inner thread diameter?

The 4.0mm is the nominal outer diameter of the main thread, while the 2.35mm is the diameter of the shank before the thread starts, relevant for calculating pilot hole sizes or understanding the core strength.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during insertion

Ensure you are using the correct TX20 driver bit and that it is fully seated in the recess. Apply firm, consistent pressure during driving.

Timber splitting during insertion

Verify the timber type is compatible. For very dense hardwoods, pre-drilling a pilot hole may be beneficial, though the twin-cut point is designed to minimize this.

Screw does not countersink properly

Ensure the ribs under the head are not obstructed. Check that the pilot hole (if used) is not too large. Apply consistent driving pressure.

Screw feels difficult to drive

Confirm you are using the correct driver bit and that it is not worn. The lubricant coating should significantly reduce torque; if resistance is very high, check for obstructions or underlying timber issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents timber 'jacking' for secure connections.
  • Reduced insertion torque (up to 52%) for faster, easier installation.
  • High pull-out resistance due to dual angle thread.
  • Minimizes timber splitting with twin-cut point.
  • Provides a flush, professional finish with under-head ribs.
  • Enhanced durability and rust protection (20x longer than standard zinc).

Cons

  • Requires a specific TX20 driver bit.
  • Primarily designed for timber-to-timber applications, may not be optimal for other materials.
  • Corrosion resistance is suitable for occasional dampness but not constant exposure.
  • Box quantity of 200 may be too large for very small projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have a compatible TX20 driver bit for your drill or screwdriver. Clean the timber surfaces where the screws will be inserted. For best results, drive the screw straight and ensure it is fully countersunk for a flush finish.

Compatibility:

  • Substrates: Suitable for Hardwood, Softwood, Chipboard, MDF, Plastic, and Thin Sheet Metal.
  • Driver: Requires a TX20 recess driver bit.

Care: While these screws offer enhanced rust protection (Corrosion Rating 2), they are not intended for constant immersion in water or highly corrosive environments. For applications in such conditions, higher-rated corrosion-resistant screws should be considered. Store screws in a dry place to maintain their protective coating.
