Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these screws suitable for saltwater environments?

Yes, A2-304 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications, though they are not marine-grade (A4/316) for direct seawater immersion.

Do I need to pre-drill the wood?

Yes, pre-drilling is highly recommended to prevent splitting the wood, especially when working with hardwoods or near the end grain.

What tool do I need to install these?

These screws feature a hexagon head, so you will need a spanner or a socket wrench set to drive them effectively.

Can I use these in brick or concrete?

Coach screws are specifically designed for timber. If you must use them in masonry, you must use an appropriate-sized wall plug/anchor.

What is the length of the screw?

The screws are 70mm in length.

Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to drive into hardwood

Ensure you are using a correct size pilot hole and verify the drill bit size is appropriate for the M8 shank.

Timber is splitting near the edge

Maintain a minimum distance from the edge of the wood, usually 5-7 times the diameter of the screw, and ensure a pilot hole is used.

Hex head rounding off

Ensure the socket or spanner is properly seated on the bolt head before applying force; do not use an undersized tool.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to rust and corrosion due to A2-304 steel
  • Hex head allows for significant torque compared to slotted screws
  • Durable and suitable for heavy-duty timber joints
  • Professional-grade quality for consistent results

Cons

  • Requires pre-drilling to prevent timber splitting
  • Hex head requires specific tools (socket/spanner) rather than standard screwdriver bits
  • Not intended for use in masonry without suitable rawl plugs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional finish, always measure your timber thickness and ensure you have at least 50mm of engagement in the primary post.

  1. Mark the hole: Clearly mark where the screw will enter.
  2. Pre-drill: Use a pilot drill bit slightly smaller than the M8 shank diameter to guide the screw and prevent wood splitting.
  3. Drive the screw: Use a socket wrench to drive the head flush against the surface.
  4. Care: Avoid using carbon steel tools on these stainless screws to prevent cross-contamination, which can lead to surface rust. If the screws become dusty or dirty during installation, simply wipe them clean with a dry cloth.
