DIYUK Yellow Zinc Torx Wafer Head Structural Timber Screws 100mm, Self-Tapping Wood Screws TX30 Drive, Pack of 50

Manufactured and independently tested to EN 14592:2008+A1:2012, the harmonised European standard for wood construction screws: carbon steel with a yellow zinc-plated finish and a wax topcoat gives general-purpose corrosion resistance plus a smoother, faster drive with high-torque impact drivers and screw guns. Self-tapping for clean entry into timber: a sharp point starts the screw straight and helps prevent splitting, cutting notches along the lower thread slice through the wood as it drives, and a reaming cutter beneath the head clears shavings so the wafer head seats firmly, without the need for pre-drilling in most softwoods. Wide wafer head for high pull-through resistance: the broad bearing surface spreads clamping load over a larger area, so there is no need for a separate washer and no requirement for the head to sit fully flush the way a countersunk screw does, while the partial thread draws the timber sections tightly together for a strong, gap-free joint. Suited to structural timber-to-timber connections including decking subframes and boards, timber framing and carcassing, fencing and pergolas, attaching joists and rafters, and landscaping or railway sleeper projects, wherever strong holding power matters more than a flush, countersunk finish. Pack of 50 screws at 100mm length and 6.0mm gauge, each weighing approximately 14.0g, with a TX30 Torx drive for a secure, slip-free grip and fast, confident driving.
