FAQs
What is the benefit of the Tri-Lock shank?
The Tri-Lock shank makes insertion easier, reduces the strain on your power tool, and provides a strong, secure hold.
Can I use these screws in masonry?
Yes, but you must pre-drill a pilot hole first.
What type of screwdriver bit do I need?
You need a Pozi screwdriver bit.
What materials are these screws suitable for?
These screws are suitable for timbers, boards, hard and softwood, sheet steel, plastic, and masonry (with a pilot hole).
How do I prevent the screw from snapping?
Avoid over-tightening the screw and ensure the pilot hole is the correct size, especially in hard materials.
What does 'self-countersinking' mean?
The screw head will create a flush finish, meaning the head sits level with the surface of the material.
What if the screw head doesn't sit flush?
Check your pilot hole. The hole may be too small or the screw may be over-tightened.
Troubleshooting
Screw is difficult to insert.
Check if a pilot hole is needed and that it is the correct size. Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver bit.
Screw head is not flush.
Ensure the countersinking ribs are functioning correctly. If not, check if the pilot hole is wide enough.
