ForgeFix Forgefast Torxfast Multi Purpose Torx Screws 5.0 x 50mm
MPN: FORFFT550Y
Option: FFT550Y
Barcode: 5028485144731
Product Overview:
These 50mm Forgefast Torxfast screws redefine what you can expect from a wood screw. Built with patented drill and drive thread technology, they significantly reduce timber splitting while preventing the common issues of 'jacking' and spinning in joined timber.
The screws' super-sharp points bite instantly into materials while their unique single-threaded spiral shank drives in smoothly. What sets these screws apart is their deep Torx drive head, which practically eliminates cam-out during installation.

Advanced Features:
The screws showcase several innovations that put them ahead of standard fixings:
Elementech 400 Surface Coating: This advanced finish delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, proven through rigorous 400-hour salt spray testing. The coating maintains its protective properties without using harmful Cr6+, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
Reinforced Design: These screws combine a hardened case and core, resulting in remarkable strength that meets CE standards for load-bearing timber construction. The 35-degree bending angle prevents shearing when timber flexes during use.
Professional-Grade Engineering: The countersunk head, enhanced by recessed ribs, ensures clean countersinking while minimising surface dust. The reinforced neck significantly improves holding power, creating lasting, secure fixings.
Applications:
These screws excel across various materials, including PVCu, timber, chipboard, fibreglass, and MDF. Their flexibility makes them invaluable for both interior construction and woodworking projects.
Key Features:
Sharp point technology for immediate material penetration
Patented thread design for reduced timber splitting
What makes these screws different from standard wood screws? The patented drill and drive thread technology, combined with the Elementech 400 coating and reinforced countersunk neck, delivers superior performance in reducing splitting, preventing jacking, and maintaining long-term holding power.
What materials can I use these screws with? You can use these screws with PVCu, timber, chipboard, fibreglass, and MDF, making them suitable for various construction and woodworking applications.
How long does the corrosion protection last? The Elementech 400 coating provides protection that lasts up to 6 times longer than standard zinc coatings, with proven performance in 400-hour salt spray testing.
Why is the Torx head design important? The deep Torx drive head significantly reduces cam-out during installation, providing better tool grip and more efficient driving compared to traditional screw head designs.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use? These screws are designed for interior applications. For outdoor projects, please select screws specifically rated for exterior use.
What preparation is needed before using these screws? While the sharp point allows for direct driving in most applications, pre-drilling may be beneficial when working with hardwoods or when screwing near edges to prevent splitting.
Put the power of patented thread technology and advanced corrosion protection to work in your next project with these professional-grade fixings.
