• Double countersunk head. Sits flush and pulls itself neatly into the timber for a clean finish.
• Pozi PZ2 recess. Grips the driver bit well, so less slipping and fewer chewed heads.
• Sharp 25 degree point. Bites quickly and starts on its own, so you can skip the pilot hole in most softwoods.
• Single coarse thread at 40 degrees. Cuts fast and pulls the fixing down tight for solid holding power.
• Fully threaded up to 75mm. Thread runs the full length for maximum grip on shorter screws. From 80mm and up you get a 70mm thread with a plain shank.
• Patented Gleitmo lubrication. Cuts the drive-in torque, so the screw goes in easier and quicker.
• Surface hardened up to 750 HV, core up to 450 HV. Anti-shear on the outside, ductile in the middle. Less chance of a snapped head.
• Zinc & Yellow finish, corrosion rating 2. Fine for internal work and sheltered or occasionally damp conditions.
• Made to BS EN 14592:2008. A recognised standard for load-bearing timber fixings.

This is a true general fixing screw for the workshop, the site and around the house. Use it for:

• General carpentry and joinery in hardwood and softwood
• Fixing chipboard, MDF and other manufactured boards
• Kitchen and worktop assembly
• Skirting, architrave and second fix work
• Fixing into plastic and thin sheet metal
• Flat-pack and cabinet building

Because the finish is only rated 2 for corrosion, keep these to internal or sheltered jobs. For anything permanently exposed or near the coast, reach for a stainless or externally rated screw instead.

Are these the same as the C2 premium screws?

No. These are the standard Classic Multi-Purpose woodscrew. The C2 twin-cut range is a separate premium screw with a different thread design. The Classic covers the everyday jobs at a keener price. If you want the faster-driving twin-cut, that's a different product.

Do I need to drill a pilot hole?

Usually not in softwood, thanks to the sharp 25 degree point. Near the end of a board, or when you're fixing into hardwood or dense material, a small pilot hole is worth the extra minute. It stops the timber splitting.

Can I use these outside?

They carry a corrosion rating of 2, so they suit internal work and sheltered or occasionally damp spots. For fully exposed outdoor work, decking or anything coastal, go for a stainless steel or externally rated screw.

What does the gold colour mean?

The gold shade is a Zinc & Yellow passivated finish, often shortened to ZYP. It's a plating that adds a bit of corrosion resistance on top of the carbon steel core.

Are they fully threaded?

Yes, up to 75mm long the thread runs the whole length. From 80mm and up the screw has a 70mm thread with a plain shank above it, which helps pull two pieces of timber tight together.

Which Pozi bit do I need?

A PZ2 Pozidriv bit. It's the most common size, so most drivers already have one. A fresh bit gives the best grip and cuts down on cam-out.
