This 40-piece set by AB Tools is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals who need reliable fastening solutions for a wide range of materials including timber, MDF, concrete, and brick. Featuring a durable brass-plated steel construction, these 5mm x 40mm screws provide a clean, professional finish with excellent corrosion resistance. While this kit is perfect for general construction and interior projects, users should note that the brass-plated finish is intended for internal or sheltered use rather than long-term exterior exposure in harsh weather conditions.

They feature a brass-plated finish for corrosion resistance, but they are primarily designed for internal or sheltered environments.
They feature a Pozi head, which is designed for better torque transfer compared to standard Phillips heads.
While they can be used with the included plugs for solid walls, specialized plasterboard fixings are recommended for hollow drywalls.
The plugs are designed to be used with a standard drill bit that matches the outer diameter of the plug, typically 5mm to 6mm depending on material density.
The set contains 40 pieces in total: 20 screws and 20 matching wall plugs.
Ensure you are using the correct size Pozi-drive bit and reduce the speed/torque on your power drill.
Check that the hole diameter is correct for the plug; if the hole is too wide, use a smaller drill bit or fill the gap with a suitable filler.
Check that you have drilled a deep enough pilot hole for the screw, especially when working with dense hardwood or concrete.
To achieve the best results, use a standard Pozi-drive screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate torque level to avoid stripping the head. When installing into masonry, drill your pilot hole slightly deeper than the length of the plug to ensure it sits flush against the wall surface. For wooden surfaces, pre-drilling a small pilot hole is recommended to prevent splitting, particularly in MDF or thinner timber boards. To maintain the integrity of the brass-plated finish, keep the screws in a dry storage environment and avoid using acidic cleaning agents on the screw heads once installed.
