FAQs
What size socket driver do I need?
The socket size will correspond to the size of the hexagon head on the screw. Check the screw specifications or use a socket set to find the correct fit.
Can I use these screws outdoors?
Yes, the zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use.
Do I need to pre-drill?
Pre-drilling is recommended, especially for hardwood, to prevent the wood from splitting.
What materials are these screws best suited for?
These screws are best suited for use with timber.
How do I remove a stripped screw?
Try using a screw extractor tool. If that doesn't work, you may need to use pliers to grip the head, or carefully drill out the screw.
Troubleshooting
Screw is difficult to insert.
Pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter.
Screw head strips when tightening.
Use the correct size socket driver and apply even pressure. If the head is already stripped, try a larger size socket driver or replace the screw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Tools Required: You'll need a socket driver or wrench of the appropriate size to fit the hexagon head.
Pre-Drilling: While the screw is designed for direct insertion, pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended, especially for hardwoods, to prevent splitting.
Installation: Insert the screw and use the socket driver to tighten it until the head is flush with the surface or as needed for your project.
Compatibility: This coach screw is primarily compatible with timber. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the thickness of the wood you are joining.
Care: No special maintenance is required. The zinc plating protects against corrosion. Avoid over-tightening the screw, which can damage the timber.
