Product Information

Full details

The TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws are designed for professional carpenters and workshop users needing reliable timber-to-timber fastening. Their key benefit is preventing timber jacking for stable connections, though their specialized TX drive may require specific tooling. These 4.0 x 25mm screws feature patented twin-cut technology and a high-molecular polymer lubricant coating for faster, easier installation and superior rust protection.

FAQs

What is 'timber jacking' and how do these screws prevent it?

Timber jacking is the upward movement of timber caused by the screw thread. The TIMco C2 screws are engineered with a dual-angle thread and specific design features that counteract this lifting force, resulting in a more stable and flush connection.

What is a TX drive recess?

A TX drive, also known as a Torx drive, is a type of screw head recess with a 6-pointed star shape. It offers superior torque transmission and resistance to cam-out compared to traditional Phillips or Pozidriv heads.

How does the lubricant coating benefit me?

The high-molecular polymer lubricant coating significantly reduces the friction and torque needed to drive the screw, making installation faster and requiring less physical effort. It also enhances the screw's resistance to rust.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the advanced coating provides up to 20 times longer rust protection than standard zinc plating, making them suitable for demanding environmental conditions and outdoor timber projects.

Can I use these screws with any drill bit?

No, you must use a TX drive bit that matches the size of the recess on the screw head. Using the wrong type or size of bit can damage the screw head and the bit, leading to cam-out.

What is the box quantity for these screws?

The TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws in the 4.0 x 25mm size are supplied in a box quantity of 200.

What does 'CSK' mean in the screw description?

CSK stands for Countersunk. This indicates that the screw head is designed to sit flush with or below the surface of the material when driven into a pre-formed recess.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during insertion

Ensure you are using the correct size TX drive bit and that it is fully seated in the screw recess. Apply firm, consistent pressure during driving.

Timber splitting despite features

While designed to minimize splitting, pre-drilling a pilot hole, especially in very hard woods or near the edge of timber, can prevent this. Ensure the twin-cut point is sharp and properly engaged before driving.

Screw not driving smoothly

Check if the lubricant coating is intact. If debris has accumulated on the screw head or within the drive recess, clean it. Ensure the timber is not excessively dense for the screw size.

Screw head doesn't sit flush

Verify that the TX drive bit is fully engaged and that you are not over-driving the screw. Ensure the timber surface is clean and even. The under-head ribs assist in countersinking; excessive force can strip the timber slightly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces timber jacking for stable joints.
  • Faster installation due to reduced insertion torque (up to 52% less).
  • Superior corrosion resistance with up to 20x longer rust protection.
  • Minimizes timber splitting with twin-cut point.
  • Secure and positive drive with TX recess prevents cam-out.
  • Professional finish achieved through effective countersinking.

Cons

  • Requires a TX drive bit, which may not be standard for all users.
  • Primarily designed for timber-to-timber applications, may not be ideal for other materials.
  • Higher initial cost compared to basic screws.
  • Yellow color may not be aesthetically suitable for all projects where the screw head is visible.
  • Specific application (timber-to-timber) limits versatility for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have the correct size TX drive bit (e.g., TX10, TX15, TX20 depending on screw size and driver manufacturer) for the TX drive recess. Select the appropriate screw length for your timber thickness, ensuring adequate thread engagement in the primary material.

Compatibility: These screws are specifically engineered for timber-to-timber applications. They are not recommended for metal, plastic, or masonry.

Care: Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the lubricant coating and rust protection. Clean any debris from the screw head before driving to ensure the TX bit engages fully. For best results, use a power driver with adjustable torque settings to prevent over-tightening.
