Product Overview:

Make quick work of your woodworking projects with these premium Forgefast 16mm Torx Fast multi-purpose screws. Featuring a patented drill and drive thread design, these screws significantly reduce timber splitting while preventing joined timber from spinning or jacking. The reinforced countersunk neck delivers superior holding power, ensuring your fixtures stay firmly in place.

You'll appreciate the recessed ribs that allow for smoother countersinking and minimise surface dust during installation. The deep Torx drive head provides excellent bit engagement, virtually eliminating cam-out issues that plague standard screws. Once you've experienced their reliable performance, other screws simply won't measure up.

These fasteners work brilliantly with various materials, including PVCu, timber, chipboard, fibreglass, and MDF. The super-sharp point pierces through materials up to 0.8mm steel thickness, giving you immediate bite and simplified driving.
