FAQs

What size screws are included in the tub?

The tub contains 450 screws of 5.0x70mm.

What type of bit is required?

A Pozi-drive (PZ2) bit is required. Two PZ2 bits are included in the tub.

What materials are these screws suitable for?

They are suitable for softwoods, hardwoods, chipboards, and fibreboards.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc yellow passivated finish and anti-corrosion coating make them suitable for outdoor applications.

Do I need to pre-drill?

Pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods to prevent splitting.

What is the benefit of the reamer thread?

The reamer thread prevents jacking, which ensures a tighter hold.

What does the sawtooth thread do?

The sawtooth thread helps prevent splitting, especially in softer woods.

Troubleshooting

Screw head not flush.

Ensure the correct size Pozi-drive bit is used and apply consistent pressure during insertion.

Wood splitting during insertion.

Pre-drill pilot holes, especially in hardwoods, and reduce driving speed.

Screw stripping the wood.

Ensure correct screw size and consider using a lower torque setting on the drill.

Countersunk head ensures a flush finish.
High corrosion resistance.
Includes PZ2 bits.

Cons

May require pre-drilling in very dense hardwoods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the wood is pre-drilled if using very dense hardwoods. Select the correct screw length for the project.
Tools: Use a Pozi-drive compatible screwdriver or drill with the included PZ2 bits for optimal performance.
Insertion: Apply consistent pressure while driving the screw into the material. The quick-start tip will help initiate the insertion.
Compatibility: These screws are compatible with softwoods, hardwoods, chipboards, and fibreboards.
Care: Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Ensure the correct screw length is used to avoid damage. The zinc yellow passivated finish helps resist corrosion, but avoid using these screws in highly corrosive environments if further protection is needed.
