SPAX T-STAR plus drive increases the contact surface of our T-STAR plus and ensures optimal positioning for the T-STAR plus bits in the screw head. By enabling maximum force transmission from the screwdriver to the screw, T-STAR plus guarantees simple and ultra-fast work. For firmer and faster driving with less effort, choose these SPAX T-STAR Plus wood screws. The head is designed to offer maximum, precise force transmission from the screwdriver to the screw - insertion is simple, fast and efficient, with no annoying bit slips. Screws can be countersunk into the wood cleanly and flush, with almost no need to pre-drill thanks to the sharp 4CUT point - even in the edge areas of your workpiece that are normally prone to splitting. With a WIROX coating too, the screws benefit from extra protection and durability.* T-STAR Plus drive - optimum bit position in screw head* Firmer and faster driving - no more bit slips* Countersunk head for a flush fit in the wood* No pre-drilling required (wood-dependent)* 4CUT point reduces wood splitting and tearing* WIROX coating for excellent corrosion protection Spax T-Star Plus Flat CSK Wirox Coated T20 4.5 x 35mm (200Pk) in Silver Steel.

FAQs
What is the benefit of the T-STAR plus drive?
The T-STAR plus drive provides a secure bit grip, preventing the bit from slipping and ensuring maximum force transmission for efficient driving.
Do I always need to pre-drill when using SPAX screws?
No, the 4CUT point design often eliminates the need for pre-drilling, especially in softwoods. However, pre-drilling is recommended in hardwoods or when working near edges to prevent splitting.
What does the WIROX coating do?
The WIROX coating provides excellent corrosion protection, increasing the screws' durability and making them suitable for use in damp environments.
What types of wood are SPAX screws suitable for?
SPAX screws are suitable for most types of wood, from softwoods to hardwoods.
What size T-STAR plus bit do I need?
The required bit size will depend on the screw size. Check the screw packaging or the SPAX website for the correct bit size.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the WIROX coating offers good corrosion resistance for some outdoor applications. However, for prolonged outdoor use or exposure to harsh conditions, stainless steel screws are recommended.
How do I ensure the screws sit flush with the surface?
Use the countersunk head of the screw and drive it straight into the wood. In some cases, you may need to pre-drill or slightly countersink the hole.
What is the benefit of the 4CUT point?
The 4CUT point reduces wood splitting and tearing, allowing for easier insertion and eliminating the need for pre-drilling in many cases.
Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping during insertion.
Ensure the correct T-STAR plus bit size is used, and adjust the drill's torque setting to prevent over-tightening. If the screw is stripped, remove it and use a new screw.
Wood splitting when driving screws.
Pre-drill pilot holes, especially in hardwoods or when screwing near the edge of the wood. Adjust the driving speed and torque to minimize splitting.
Screw not countersinking flush.
Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size or slightly countersink the hole to allow the head to sit flush. Make sure the screw is driven straight.
Difficulty starting the screw.
Apply firm, direct pressure while starting the screw to ensure the 4CUT point bites into the wood. If needed, make a small pilot indentation with a nail.
Corrosion on the screw head.
Replace corroded screws, especially if used in a high-moisture environment. Consider using stainless steel screws if corrosion is a recurring issue.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Reduces wood splitting with the 4CUT point.
Offers excellent corrosion protection with WIROX coating.
Provides a secure bit grip with the T-STAR plus drive, preventing slips.
Enables fast and efficient driving with less effort.
Countersunk head provides a flush finish.
Suitable for a wide range of woodworking applications.
Cons
Pre-drilling may be required for certain hard wood types.
Screw length and type selection is critical for optimal performance.
WIROX coating may be susceptible to damage if over-torqued.
Cost may be higher compared to standard wood screws.
Requires using the correct T-STAR plus bit for best results.
Not ideal for exterior applications where extremely high corrosion resistance is needed.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Choosing the Right Screw: Select the correct screw length and diameter for your wood and project. Consider the thickness of the materials being joined.
Bit Compatibility: Use the correct T-STAR plus bit size for the screw head to ensure a secure fit and prevent stripping.
Pre-Drilling: While the 4CUT point often negates the need for pre-drilling, always pre-drill in hardwoods or when working near edges to prevent splitting.
Driving: Use a power drill with a torque setting appropriate for the wood and screw size. Avoid over-tightening.
Storage: Store unused screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Keep them organized to easily find the correct size and type.
Compatibility: SPAX screws are compatible with most types of wood. The WIROX coating offers good corrosion resistance, but for prolonged outdoor use or exposure to harsh conditions, consider stainless steel screws.
Care: Regularly inspect your projects and tighten any screws if necessary. Replace any damaged or corroded screws.
