Product Information

Full details

The TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws are designed for professionals and DIYers tackling timber-to-timber construction projects. Their key benefit lies in providing exceptionally secure and stable connections with reduced risk of timber splitting and improved ease of insertion. A potential caveat is their specialized application, primarily for wood, which might limit versatility in mixed material projects. These 5.0 x 90mm screws feature patented twin-cut technology, a low-friction lubricant coating, dual-angle threading for superior pull-out resistance, and under-head ribs for a clean finish.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the twin-cut technology?

The twin-cut technology allows for rapid screw pick-up and significantly reduces the risk of timber jacking and splitting, especially near the edges of the wood.

How does the lubricant coating improve performance?

The high-molecular polymer lubricant coating reduces insertion torque by up to 52%, making installation easier and faster. It also provides rust protection up to 20 times longer than standard zinc plating.

Can these screws be used for metal to wood applications?

These screws are specifically engineered for timber-to-timber applications and are not recommended for use with metal or other materials.

What type of screwdriver bit do I need?

You will need a TX25 (Torx) drive bit for these screws.

What does 'superior clamping performance' mean?

It refers to the screw's ability to pull two pieces of timber together tightly and maintain that secure connection over time, thanks to the dual-angle thread design.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the lubricant coating provides enhanced rust protection, making them suitable for outdoor applications, though prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may eventually impact any fastener.

What is the box quantity for these screws?

Each box contains 100 TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during insertion

Ensure you are using the correct size TX25 bit and that it is firmly seated in the screw recess. Apply consistent, straight pressure during driving.

Timber splitting despite screw design

While designed to prevent splitting, extremely dense or brittle timber may still be susceptible. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in very hard wood might be necessary, though typically not required with this screw type.

Difficulty inserting screws

Verify you are using the correct TX25 bit and that the drill/driver is set to an appropriate speed and torque. Ensure the timber is dry, as wet timber can increase resistance.

Screw head not sitting flush

The under-head ribs aid countersinking. If not flush, ensure the material has not been over-driven or damaged. A slightly larger pilot hole for the head may help in very soft woods, but this can compromise pull-out strength.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces timber splitting and jacking.
  • Easier and faster insertion due to reduced torque.
  • Provides strong and stable timber-to-timber connections.
  • Offers superior rust and corrosion resistance.
  • Achieves a clean, flush finish with improved countersinking.
  • Reliable drive engagement prevents cam-out.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for timber-to-timber applications, limiting use in other materials.
  • Requires a TX drive bit, which may not be standard in all toolkits.
  • The yellow color might be visible in certain aesthetic applications if not fully concealed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These screws are designed for direct use with a compatible driver bit. Ensure you are using a TX (Torx) drive bit of the correct size, typically a TX25 for this screw dimension. The precision TX drive recess minimizes cam-out, so ensure a firm engagement between the bit and the screw head before driving.

Compatibility:

  • Material: Primarily intended for timber-to-timber applications. They are not recommended for metal, masonry, or plastic.
  • Tools: Requires a power drill or impact driver equipped with a TX25 bit.

Care:

  • Storage: Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the lubricant coating and prevent premature corrosion.
  • Installation: Avoid over-driving screws, as this can strip the timber or damage the screw head, despite the cam-out resistance.
  • Cleaning: No specific cleaning is required for the screws themselves. If installed in an exposed environment, ensure the surrounding timber is maintained to prevent moisture-related issues that could affect the overall structure.
