Their key benefit is acting as a reliable, guaranteed replacement for M10 coach bolts, offering exceptional strength and durability with a unique case-hardened coating.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these screws suitable for treated timber?

Yes, these screws are designed for structural timber applications, including treated timber used in framing and outdoor construction. The advanced coating provides protection.

What is the guarantee if a screw fails?

Carpenters Mate offers a comprehensive project replacement guarantee if a proven screw failure occurs due to a manufacturing fault.

What size driver bit do I need?

These are hex head screws. You will need a compatible hex drive tool or socket bit, typically for a power drill or impact driver, matching the size of the hex head.

Can I use these for general DIY projects?

While they offer superior strength, they are specifically engineered as structural replacements for M10 coach bolts. For lighter-duty tasks, they might be more than necessary, but they will certainly provide a very strong fastening.

How do I check the structural rating on the screw?

The structural rating is stamped directly onto the head of each screw, making it easily visible for compliance and quality assurance checks.

Are these screws pre-drilled?

No, these are screws designed to be driven directly into timber. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended, especially in dense hardwoods, to prevent timber splitting and ease installation.

What is the material of the screw?

The screws are manufactured from high-strength carbon steel with a unique case-hardened coating.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping during driving

Ensure you are using the correct size and type of drive tool. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly into the screw head. If driving into hardwood, pre-drilling an appropriate pilot hole can reduce strain.

Screw not seating fully

Check if a pilot hole is needed for the timber type and depth. Ensure no obstructions are present in the timber or screw hole. Verify the screw is perpendicular to the timber surface.

Corrosion observed on screw

While coated for lifetime performance, extreme environmental conditions could affect the coating over extended periods. Contact Carpenters Mate customer support if you suspect a coating failure related to the guarantee.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified structural replacement for M10 coach bolts
  • Lifetime performance guarantee on coating
  • High strength carbon steel construction
  • Traceable structural rating markings
  • Includes free drive tool for convenience
  • Designed for UK timber standards

Cons

  • Primarily for structural timber applications, may be overkill for lighter tasks
  • Specialized hex head requires a specific drive tool (included)
  • Bulk 250-piece tub may be more than needed for small projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These screws are designed for immediate use. Ensure you have a compatible driver bit (often a hex/impact socket driver) to engage the screw head securely. Use in conjunction with appropriate timber, following standard construction practices for pilot holes if necessary, especially in hardwoods, to prevent splitting.

Compatibility: Primarily compatible with structural timber applications, designed to replace M10 coach bolts. Suitable for use in framing, joist construction, beam connections, and other load-bearing timber joints. Ensure the timber is dry and prepared for fastening.

Care: The carbon steel construction with its advanced coating offers excellent corrosion resistance. However, as with any external timber construction, regular inspection of the completed structure is recommended. Clean any dirt or debris from the screw heads to maintain visibility of the stamped rating. Store the remaining screws in the provided tub to protect them from moisture and contamination.
