ForgeFix General Purpose Twin Thread Screws 2 1/4" x 8 Zinc Plated Box 200

The Forgefix General Purpose Pozi Compatible Screws with Countersunk Heads are an essential addition to any toolkit, combining durability, functionality, and versatility for various applications. These screws are zinc plated, which significantly enhances their durability and resistance to corrosion. This protective zinc coating works as a barrier against oxidation, thus extending the lifespan of the screws. In the event that the coating is compromised, the zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, preventing the underlying metal from oxidizing.

Application

The Forgefix screws are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

- Ironmongery

- Electrical installations

- Plumbing projects

These screws can also be used with various screw cover caps, providing a neat finish. The unique properties of the zinc oxide formed during the oxidation process contribute to the screws' long-lasting effectiveness. Unlike iron oxide, which can lead to deterioration, zinc oxide offers a stable layer that protects the substrate's integrity, functioning similarly to the protective oxide layers seen in aluminium and stainless steels.

Design Features

These screws feature the Pozidriv drive design, which distinguishes them from traditional Phillips screws. The Pozidriv configuration has four additional points of contact, eliminating the problem of "camming out" and allowing for greater torque application. The Pozidriv screw is easily recognizable by the line embossed in the screw head at a 45-degree angle to the slots for the driver.

The countersunk head design allows the screw to sit flush with the surface of the material, resulting in a smooth finish. Additionally, the screws are equipped with twin threads, ensuring an easy start when driving them into various substrates. This twin thread design increases holding power and improves the overall drive performance.

Versatility

These screws are perfect for fixing into a diverse range of materials, such as:

- Softwoods

- Hardwoods

- Chipboards

- Fibreboards

The extra deep insert bit recess ensures swift and easy insertion while allowing for a firm positive drive. Furthermore, a special wax coating enhances the speed and ease of insertion, making these screws a practical choice for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts.

With weights of approximately 1.48 pounds and a variety of sizes available, including No.4 (3.0mm) through No.12 (6.0mm), these Forgefix General Purpose Pozi Compatible Screws are an ideal solution for countless fastening needs. Whether you are working on a small home project or a larger construction task, these screws provide the reliability and efficiency required for successful results.
