About this product
These TIMCO Classic Multi-Purpose Screws are a robust fastening solution suitable for a wide range of general joinery tasks. Featuring a PZ2 cross drive head, they’re designed to provide a secure and reliable fix in both softwood and hardwood applications. The double countersunk design reduces the likelihood of head shear and aids in completing countersinking, ensuring a neat finish.
Crafted from zinc-plated steel with a gold exterior finish, these screws offer everyday corrosion resistance thanks to their zinc coating. The 40° deep single thread provides high pull-out resistance for demanding applications, while surface hardening up to 750 HV prevents torque shearing under load and the core hardness of up to 450 HV improves ductility. A single slash on 25mm+ helps reduce torque and the risk of timber splitting when screwing close to edges.
This box contains 200 screws, providing ample coverage for most general joinery jobs. The flat screw head style is compatible with a variety of tools and drivers, including those utilising a Pozi drive which resists cam-out during driving. These screws are ideal for projects around the home, garage, or workshop where durability and ease of use are important factors.
Please note that these screws are not rated for permanent outdoor exposure. They're designed for general indoor use and offer excellent value for money within a budget-friendly price tier. The dimensions are 35 x 5 x 45 millimetres, with a thread size of #00-90 and a fully threaded design.
