Fixing and buying guide

What this product is for

These woodscrews are engineered for professional and serious DIY use across hardwood, softwood, and man-made boards including MDF, plywood, chipboard and OSB. The 80mm length and 10g gauge make them suitable for general carpentry, joinery, and sheet material fixing where a strong, reliable fastener with a neat countersunk finish is required. They can also be used for fixing into sheet metal applications.

Choosing the right size and pack

At 5mm by 80mm, these screws suit applications requiring substantial penetration and holding power. The 200-count box provides good value for trade use and larger projects. Verify your timber thickness and substrate depth before ordering to ensure the 80mm length will provide adequate penetration without over-driving. For lighter work or smaller fixings, consider shorter lengths; for thicker materials, longer screws may be needed.

• Gauge: 10g (suitable for general carpentry and board fixing)
• Length: 80mm (check your material thickness allows proper seating)
• Pack size: 200 screws per box
• Head type: Double-angle countersunk (PoziSquare) for flush finish
• Finish: Zinc and Yellow (Z&Y) for corrosion resistance

Drive system and bit compatibility

The Stick-Fit drive system is included as a high-quality driver bit in every box, providing optimal engagement and one-handed driving control. The system is fully compatible with standard POZI and Phillips bits, giving you flexibility if you prefer your own driver or need to replace the supplied bit. The PoziSquare head design ensures positive drive without cam-out on difficult timbers.

Pre-installation checks

Inspect timber for moisture content and condition before fixing; wet or damaged timber may cause splitting or poor screw seating. For hardwoods and dense boards, consider pre-drilling pilot holes to reduce splitting risk and ease insertion. Ensure your driver bit is clean and properly seated in the screw head to maximise the Stick-Fit advantage. Check that the 80mm length will not protrude through the back face of your workpiece.

• Verify timber type and density match screw specification
• Pre-drill pilot holes in hardwood or dense boards to prevent splitting
• Confirm screw length allows full penetration without over-driving
• Keep the supplied Stick-Fit bit clean for reliable one-handed operation
