ForgeFix Multi-Purpose Single Thread Screws | 4.0 x 30mm | Zinc Yellow Passivated | Box 200

Let's be honest, it's hard to get excited about screws. But it's very easy to get frustrated by bad ones. I bought this box of 200 for a weekend project – putting together some raised beds for the garden using old scaffold boards – and I can say they're genuinely good. The main thing you want to know is if they snap or if the heads round off the second you look at them, right? Well I drove about 100 of these into some pretty solid timber with my impact driver and didn't have a single one shear off or cam out. The cross-head (it's a Pozi drive) is deep enough that the bit gets a proper grip, which is half the battle. They bite into the wood nicely and drive in smoothly without much fuss. For 70mm screws going into thick wood, drilling a little pilot hole first is always a good idea, but these seemed to manage just fine either way. For the price – under a fiver for 200 – you really can't complain. It's miles cheaper than grabbing a handful of small, expensive packs from B&Q. Long story short, they’re strong, reliable, and great value. A perfect, no-nonsense box of screws to have in the shed for any decent-sized DIY job. I'd buy them again without hesitation.

They are designed to offer good performance in various materials, ease of use, and decent corrosion resistance.Key Features and Benefits:Multi-Purpose: These screws are designed to be suitable for use in various materials, including softwoods, hardwoods, chipboard, and fiberboard (like MDF). This versatility makes them a convenient option for general-purpose use.Size: The 4.0 x 50mm size is a common and useful size for many applications, providing a good balance between holding power and length. (Approximately 2" x 8 in imperial sizing).Single Thread: The single-thread design is intended to provide increased holding power, particularly in particle boards like MDF, and to facilitate quicker insertion.Countersunk Head: The countersunk head allows the screw to sit flush with the surface of the material, providing a neat and professional finish.Pozi Drive: These screws use a Pozidriv (PZ) recess, which is designed to provide a more positive drive and reduce the risk of cam-out (where the driver slips out of the screw head) compared to Phillips.Zinc Yellow Passivated Finish: The zinc yellow passivated finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc plating. This makes them suitable for indoor use and offers some protection in less demanding outdoor environments.Ease of Use: Features like the deep insert bit recess and a special wax coating are designed to make these screws easier and quicker to drive.Potential Considerations:Outdoor Use: While the zinc yellow passivated finish offers improved corrosion resistance, for permanent outdoor installations or harsh environments, stainless steel screws might be a better choice.Material Compatibility: While described as multi-purpose, always consider the specific material you are working with. For very hard hardwoods, pre-drilling a pilot hole is generally recommended to prevent the screw from snapping.Summary:ForgeFix Multi-Purpose Single Thread Screws, 4.0 x 50mm, Zinc Yellow Passivated, are a solid choice for general-purpose screwing tasks.

Sehr zufrieden gleich nachgebaut top

Je cherchais des vis de cette dimension pour fixer des panneaux isolant avec des rondelles spécifiques. Vu que je n'en trouvais pas en magasin, elles tombaient bien à point.

Usados para atornillar en madera semidura con taladro de batería y orificio previo, no se ha partido ninguno con un apriete fuerte. Les doy un aprobado

Ottimo prodotto

Utilisation pour associer des poteaux de bois et des lames de bois pour création de barrières pour gros animaux. Nécessité dans ce cas, d'un assemblage solide et durable dans le temps grâce au traitement de surface de ce produit. Je recommande vivement surtout à ce prix. JCB
