FAQs
What size drill bit should I use?
Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's 5mm diameter. This ensures a tight fit and good grip.
Can I use these screws outdoors?
While the yellow zinc plating provides some corrosion resistance, it is not recommended for prolonged outdoor use or in highly corrosive environments. Consider using screws specifically designed for outdoor applications.
What is the purpose of the double countersunk head?
The double countersunk head allows the screw to sit flush with the surface, providing a clean and professional finish.
Do I need to pre-drill?
Yes, it is highly recommended to pre-drill before inserting the screws, especially when working with plasterboards or harder materials.
How many screws are in a pack?
There are 100 screws in each pack.
What material are the screws made of?
The screws are made of durable carbon steel.
Are these screws suitable for hardwood?
These screws are suitable for hardwoods, but pre-drilling is essential to prevent splitting the wood.
Can I paint over these screws?
Yes, you can paint over the screws after they have been installed. Ensure the screw heads are flush and that the surface is clean before painting.
Troubleshooting
Screw won't go in
Ensure you've pre-drilled. If already pre-drilled, enlarge the pilot hole slightly or try a different screw-driving bit.
Screw head strips
Use the correct size and type of screw-driving bit and apply firm, even pressure. If the head is already stripped, try using a rubber band between the bit and screw head for extra grip or use pliers to remove it.
Plasterboard cracks
Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size, use gentle pressure when driving the screw, and avoid over-tightening.
Screw rusts
Make sure screws are stored in a dry place. In areas of high moisture, consider using a different type of screw with superior corrosion resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Drill Bit Selection: Choose a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's diameter (5mm) for optimal grip.
- Insertion: Use a screwdriver or drill with a screw-driving bit to drive the screw into the pre-drilled hole.
- Flush Finish: Ensure the double countersunk head sits flush with the surface for a clean finish.
Compatibility
- Materials: Compatible with plasterboards, wood studs, and other similar materials used in construction and DIY projects.
- Tools: Compatible with standard screwdrivers and drills with screw-driving bits.
Care
- Storage: Store screws in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
- Handling: Avoid over-tightening the screws, which can damage the plasterboard or wood.
- Environment: While the zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, avoid using these screws in highly corrosive environments without additional protection.
