The hex head style ensures a secure grip when driving into timber, taking advantage of the twin-thread design which drives fast. This makes them suitable for projects requiring strong and reliable connections.
Please note that this multi-purpose screw offers rapid installation into various materials but the large box takes up more storage space than single-size packs. The total weight of the trade case is approximately 5.98kg, so careful consideration should be given to your available storage capacity before purchasing.
