FAQs

What is the thread diameter of these screws?

These are M4 machine screws, meaning they have a nominal thread diameter of 4 millimeters.

Can these be used for outdoor decking?

No, these are machine screws intended for indoor construction or assembly, not high-corrosion or structural outdoor applications.

Does the pack contain 20 screws and 20 nuts?

Yes, the pack is a 20-piece set, which refers to 20 complete sets of screws and their matching nuts.

What screwdriver type do I need?

You should use a standard Philips head screwdriver, ideally size #2 for an M4 screw.

Are these screws magnetic?

As standard machine screws, they are typically made of steel and will likely be magnetic.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping

Ensure the screwdriver bit is a true #2 Philips size and apply firm, downward pressure while turning.

Difficulty threading the nut

Back the nut off slightly and check for debris in the threads; ensure the nut is perfectly square to the screw before turning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Standardized M4 threading ensures compatibility with a wide range of components
  • Philips head design prevents tool slippage when using the correct driver size
  • Includes both screws and nuts for immediate project deployment
  • Professional silver finish blends well with modern hardware and light-colored materials

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty structural or load-bearing steel applications
  • Limited to 30mm length, which may be too short for thicker assemblies
  • Philips heads can be prone to cam-out if excessive pressure is applied without proper bit seating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, always use a correctly sized #2 Philips screwdriver head to prevent stripping the cruciform recess. When installing, manually thread the nut onto the screw first to ensure the threads are clear before tightening with tools. While the silver finish provides some resistance to environmental elements, these screws are best utilized in interior environments to avoid potential corrosion over time. If using in damp locations, consider applying a light coating of machine oil or using a protective sealant.
