Ulti-Mate Stick-Fit Woodscrews Tub - Yellow - 5.0 x 80mm - 350pk

The Stick-Fit drive system is designed to grip the screw head securely, allowing for smooth, stable driving and the ability to start and drive screws with one hand. This significantly improves efficiency, especially in overhead or awkward positions.

Yes, the screws are 100% compatible with standard POZI (PZ2) and Phillips (PH2) driver bits. However, the included Stick-Fit bits are engineered for optimal performance with the Stick-Fit system.

These screws are engineered for use in hardwood, softwood, manufactured timber boards (like MDF, plywood, chipboard, OSB), and sheet metal.

The yellow zinc plated finish provides moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for general construction and indoor use. For highly corrosive environments or prolonged outdoor exposure, additional protection or stainless steel screws may be necessary.

The Type-17 slash point is a sharp, angled point designed to cut into timber fibers with minimal resistance, reducing the likelihood of wood splitting and allowing for faster penetration, even into dense hardwoods.

The wax lubricant is applied during manufacturing. While it can be worn down with extensive use or friction, it is designed to provide sufficient lubrication for the majority of insertions within the intended applications.

Each Trade Tub contains 350 screws.

Ensure you are using the correct Stick-Fit driver bit or a properly seated POZI/Phillips bit. Apply firm, consistent pressure and ensure the screw is entering the material straight. Check if the material being driven into is unusually hard or if there are obstructions.

Verify the screw is not hitting a knot or obstruction. Ensure the wax lubricant finish is intact. For very hard materials, a pilot hole might be beneficial, although often not required.

Confirm you are using a flat, unobstructed surface for the countersunk head to sit into. Ensure the pilot hole (if drilled) is adequately countersunk for the screw head's angle.

Store screws in a dry, climate-controlled environment. If minor surface corrosion occurs, it may not significantly impact performance but is not covered under warranty. For long-term exposure, consider stainless steel alternatives.
