FAQs

What makes the Stick-Fit drive system unique?

The patented Stick-Fit drive system is engineered to securely hold the screw onto the driver bit, allowing for stable, one-handed installation which is particularly useful in awkward positions or when working at height.

Can I use these screws with a standard Phillips head screwdriver?

Yes, the Ulti-Mate Stick-Fit Woodscrews are 100% compatible with both POZI and Phillips driver bits.

What types of wood can these screws be used on?

They are suitable for a wide range of timber, including hardwood, softwood, and man-made boards like MDF, plywood, chipboard, and OSB.

Do I need to pre-drill holes for these screws?

The Type-17 slash point is designed to drive into the hardest timber with minimal resistance, often negating the need for pilot holes. However, for extremely dense hardwoods or to prevent splitting in very close to edge applications, pre-drilling might still be beneficial.

How many screws are included in the Trade Tub?

Each Trade Tub contains 700 screws.

What are the dimensions of these screws?

The screws are 4.0mm in diameter and 60mm in length.

Are the included driver bits reusable?

Yes, the two high-quality Stick-Fit driver bits included are reusable and designed for durable performance.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during driving

Ensure you are using the correct type of driver bit (POZI or Phillips) and that it is fully engaged with the screw head. Check that the bit is not worn. Reduce drill speed and apply firm, consistent pressure.

Screw not penetrating hard timber

Verify that the Type-17 point is not damaged. For extremely dense hardwoods, consider drilling a small pilot hole, though the Type-17 point is designed to minimize this need.

Screw head breaks off during installation

This often indicates overtightening or using excessive speed. Ensure your drill's clutch is set appropriately for the screw size and material. Back out the broken screw if possible and replace.

Stick-Fit system not holding screw

Check that the driver bit is clean and undamaged. Ensure the bit is properly seated in the screw head. The Stick-Fit system relies on a good fit between the bit and the screw recess.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • One-handed installation capability enhances efficiency.
  • Works with both POZI and Phillips bits.
  • Type-17 point makes driving into hard wood easier.
  • Countersunk head provides a clean finish.
  • Lubricated surface reduces driving effort.
  • Strong holding power due to thread design.

Cons

  • Trade Tub packaging may be excessive for small DIY projects.
  • Requires appropriate driver bits for optimal Stick-Fit performance.
  • Gold finish is primarily aesthetic and may not be suitable for all exterior applications without additional protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible power drill or screwdriver with a clutch setting to prevent overtightening.
  2. Select the correct driver bit (POZI or Phillips) that matches the screw head.
  3. For optimal performance with the Stick-Fit system, ensure the driver bit is in good condition and fully inserted into the drill chuck.

Compatibility:

  • Driver Bits: The Stick-Fit drive system is designed for 100% compatibility with both POZI and Phillips driver bits. It is recommended to use high-quality bits for best results.
  • Materials: These screws are suitable for hardwood, softwood, man-made timber boards (MDF, plywood, chipboard, OSB), and sheet metal.

Care:

  • Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, especially if exposed to moisture over time.
  • Clean driver bits regularly to ensure proper engagement with the screw head.
  • For exterior applications where exposure to the elements is high, consider using stainless steel or coated screws designed for long-term outdoor use, as the gold finish is primarily for appearance and moderate corrosion resistance.
