These screws are suitable for hardwood, softwood, man-made timber boards (e.g., MDF, plywood, chipboard & OSB), and sheet metal.

Is a pilot hole always necessary?

Pilot holes are recommended, especially for hardwoods, to prevent splitting.

What is the benefit of the Stick-Fit drive system?

What type of driver bit should I use?

Use the Stick-Fit driver bit included with the screws.

What does the Type-17 cutter point do?

The Type-17 cutter point makes it easier to drive the screw through hard timber.

Are these screws rust-resistant?
