Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size screws should I use?

Use 3.5 x 45mm screws. Ensure the length is suitable for the thickness of the boards you are joining.

What type of driver bit do I need?

You need a TX10 impact bit, which is included in the pack.

Can I use these screws outdoors?

Yes, they are suitable for use in occasionally damp/wet, rural, and sheltered areas, but not in highly corrosive environments.

What materials are these screws made from?

They are made from carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish.

What is the head type?

The head type is reduced countersunk.

What is the thread length of the screws?

The thread length is 30mm.

What is the purpose of the twin-cut point?

The twin-cut point helps to reduce timber splitting and provides consistent and rapid pick-up.

Are these screws suitable for use with hardwoods?

Yes, they are suitable for use with hardwoods, softwoods, and chipboard. Pre-drilling may be beneficial with hardwoods.

Troubleshooting

Screw head snapping off during installation

Ensure you are using the correct TX10 bit and not over-tightening. Reduce the speed of the drill/driver if needed.

Difficulty in driving the screw into the wood

Pre-drill a pilot hole, especially in hardwoods. Ensure the drill/driver is set to the correct torque setting.

Screw not providing a flush fit

Check the alignment of the tongue and groove. Ensure the screw is fully countersunk, and the head is flush with the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Includes a TX10 impact bit, simplifying installation.

Cons

Limited to tongue and groove applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Use a TX10 impact bit (included) with a power drill or impact driver. Pre-drilling is not always necessary due to the twin-cut point, but may be beneficial in very dense hardwoods.
Compatibility: Compatible with hardwood, softwood, and chipboard. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the thickness of the material.
Care: Avoid over-tightening the screws, which can damage the wood. Wipe away any debris or dust from the screw heads or surrounding areas. Store screws in a dry environment.
