They're the perfect choice for fixing into most woods, including hardwood. A deep TORX-compatible head ensures reduced cam-out, higher torque levels and a firmer drive. The self-drilling thread means no pilot hole is needed, and the flutes are designed to remove timber rather than displace it - this reduces the risk of splitting or jacking, and delivers a firmer fix. The screw's sharp point delivers a faster bite that's capable of penetrating 0.8mm steel. It also flexes to 35deg, reducing the likelihood of the screw shearing when used in substrates that flex in use.* Professional, elite performance multi-purpose wood screws* Patented self-drilling thread - no pilot hole needed* A sharp point for faster bite - capable of penetrating 0.8mm steel* TORX-compatible insert for a higher transmission of power* Reduced cam-out, higher torque levels and a firmer drive* Drill thread flutes remove timber to reduce splitting and jacking* Improved countersinking from recessed ribs* Flexes to 35deg - reduced risk of screw shearing* Zinc yellow passivated finish to increase corrosion resistance* Salt spray tested to 400 hours* TORX bit included in every box ForgeFast Multi Purpose Self Drilling Wood Screw 4.0 x 30mm (200 Pack) in Gold Steel
