FAQs

What is the thread length on these screws?

The thread length is approximately two-thirds of the overall screw length. For the 70mm screw, the thread length is approximately 42mm.

Can these screws be used in concrete?

These coach screws are not directly designed for concrete. However, they can be used in masonry applications when paired with a suitable nylon plug.

What type of tool do I need to drive these screws?

You will need a hex driver bit that matches the size of the screw head.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

Pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended for hardwoods to prevent splitting and ease insertion. It may not be strictly necessary for softer woods, but can still improve the process.

What is the material and finish of these screws?

The screws are made of carbon steel with a zinc finish.

How many screws are in this pack?

This bag contains 10 coach screws.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor, exposed conditions?

The zinc finish provides some corrosion resistance, but for prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions, screws with a more durable coating may be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Screw will not drive into wood.

Ensure a pilot hole has been drilled, especially in hardwoods. Check that you are using the correct size hex driver bit and that it is engaging properly with the screw head.

Wood splitting during insertion.

A pilot hole is necessary. Reduce the driving force or ensure the pilot hole is appropriately sized for the screw shank.

Screw head stripping.

Use the correct size hex driver bit. Ensure the bit is seated fully and apply steady, even pressure. Avoid excessive force.

Corrosion observed on screw.

This is likely due to prolonged exposure to moisture. For environments prone to corrosion, consider screws with a more robust coating. Ensure screws are stored in a dry place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable carbon steel construction for longevity.
  • Versatile use in timber and, with plugs, masonry.
  • Hex head allows for secure driving.
  • Sharp point facilitates easier insertion into wood.
  • Zinc finish provides moderate corrosion protection.

Cons

  • May require pilot holes in hardwoods, adding an extra step.
  • Thread length is shorter than total length, which might affect holding power in certain scenarios.
  • N/A recess type means standard hex drivers are needed.
  • Zinc finish is not suitable for highly corrosive environments.
  • No specific driver bit size is provided, requiring user to ascertain the correct size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate pilot drill bit size if working with hardwoods or if resistance is felt.
  2. Ensure you have a hex driver bit that fits the screw head snugly.
  3. Position the components to be joined.
  4. Drive the screw using a suitable power tool or manual driver until secure. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for timber-to-timber applications.
  • Compatible with standard nylon plugs for use in masonry.
  • Requires a hex driver.

Care:

  • Store screws in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion of the zinc finish.
  • Clean any visible dirt or debris from screws before use if stored for extended periods.
