About this product
These TIMCO C2 Strong-Fix Multi-Purpose Premium Countersunk Gold Woodscrews are a robust fastening solution designed for demanding DIY and professional applications. The screws feature a dual angle thread offering exceptional pull-out resistance, making them ideal for securing decking, fencing, or stud work projects where durability is key. Supplied in a box of 200, this set provides ample coverage for larger jobs requiring a significant number of fasteners.
Each screw boasts a double countersunk head with ribs under the head, ensuring a smooth and flush finish while preventing splitting and material damage. The high-molecular polymer coating reduces insertion torque by up to 52%, minimising driver strain during use and providing enhanced rust protection. A type 1 point ensures rapid “pick-up” in timber, reducing the likelihood of splitting, thanks to the patented twin cut technology.
These screws are constructed from steel with a gold finish and utilise a UNC thread style, suitable for general wood fastening. The #0-80 thread size allows for compatibility with standard Pozidriv drivers. With dimensions of 5.0 x 70mm and an item diameter of 5 millimetres, these screws offer a compact size while delivering significant holding power.
Please note that the gold coating is designed primarily for interior use and may not be fully weatherproof for long-term outdoor applications. Consider this when selecting them for exterior projects.
