About this product
The TIMCO Classic Multi-Purpose Countersunk Woodscrews – Gold – Assorted Case – 895pcs offers a comprehensive selection of screws for a wide range of DIY and construction tasks. This bulk case contains a substantial collection of sizes, making it ideal for tackling flat-pack furniture assembly, general joinery projects, and everyday repairs around the home. The assortment covers common sizes frequently required in these applications.
These screws feature a robust design with surface hardening up to 750 HV, providing resistance to torque shearing under load, alongside a core hardness of up to 450 HV for improved ductility. The 40° deep single thread provides a secure fixing and high pull-out resistance when needed. A key design element is the single slash on sizes of 25mm+ which helps reduce the likelihood of timber splitting when inserting them near the edge of a board.
Constructed from steel with a zinc/gold passivated finish, these screws are resistant to corrosion suitable for indoor use. The compartmentalised case ensures that different sized screws remain neatly organised and easily accessible. It’s important to note that due to the material used, these screws aren't designed for damp or outdoor environments where they may be exposed to weathering.
The double countersunk design helps minimise the risk of head shear and aids in completing countersinking – a valuable feature when working with various materials. Patented lubrication is included, enhancing screw insertion time and offering greater corrosion resistance. All sizes up to 75mm are fully threaded, with longer lengths available for demanding applications.

FAQ
What are these screws best suited for?
TIMCO Multi-Purpose Countersunk Woodscrews are ideal for general repairs, flat-pack furniture assembly, and various joinery tasks. The assortment of sizes caters to a wide range of projects, from small DIY jobs to more substantial construction work.
What materials are these screws made from?
These screws are manufactured from steel with a zinc/gold passivated finish, providing excellent corrosion resistance particularly for indoor use. This robust construction ensures durability and longevity when used in typical household applications.
How do the thread lengths affect their suitability?
The screw sizes include lengths up to 75mm which are fully threaded, while those 80mm and above feature a longer 70mm thread length. This variation allows for secure fixing in deeper materials and applications.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
While the zinc/gold passivated steel offers good corrosion resistance, this product is not stainless steel and therefore isn't recommended for prolonged exposure to damp or outdoor environments. It’s best suited for dry indoor conditions.
What makes the 'single slash' design important?
The single slash on sizes 25mm+ reduces torque and helps prevent timber splitting when driving the screw close to an edge, offering a more controlled and secure insertion process.
How do the hardness ratings impact their performance?
The surface hardening up to 750 HV and core hardness up to 450 HV provide high pull-out resistance under load and improved ductility, meaning they’re less prone to shearing when subjected to significant force.
How do these screws compare in price to alternatives?
At approximately £24.99, the TIMCO Multi-Purpose Countersunk Woodscrews offer excellent value for money, particularly considering the large assortment of 895 pieces within the case and the quality of the materials.
What maintenance or cleaning should I do to these screws?
Regular visual inspection is recommended to check for any signs of corrosion. If necessary, gently clean with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris and maintain their appearance.
Does the compartmentalised case make finding sizes easier?
Yes, the compartmentalized design within the case keeps the different screw sizes neatly organised, allowing for quick and easy identification when working on a project.
What type of head does this screw have?
These screws feature double countersunk heads which reduces the likelihood of head shear and assists completion of countersinking, making them suitable for use in applications where a flush finish is required.
