Key Features & Benefits
Point & Thread Design
-
The Type 17 fluted, sharp gimlet-style point cuts into wood and clears sawdust as it advances, speeding up installation and reducing splitting or surface damage.
-
The screw’s threads extend all the way to the point, helping to pull the screw in smoothly, reducing required pressure and risk of stripping.
Head & Drive
-
Features a hex flange head that offers better torque transfer and stability.
-
Typically driven using a magnetic hex socket (5/16″) or compatible power tool bit.
Corrosion Resistance
-
Available with zinc yellow plating, often in Ruspert or Class 3/4 finishes, offering strong protection for outdoor and construction environments.
Sizes & Packaging
-
Common sizes include 12‑11 × 50 mm, 65 mm, 75 mm, and longer lengths—suitable up to 12‑11 × 115 mm based on your need.
-
Typically available in packs of 100, ideal for both small-scale and larger projects.
