Frequently Asked Questions:

• Which drill bit size should I use for pre-drilling these screws?
  For optimal results, select a drill bit 0.5mm smaller than the screw diameter. A 3mm drill bit works well for these 3.5mm screws in hardwood applications.
• What's the difference between zinc-plated and zinc-passivated finishes?
  Zinc passivated finishes undergo an additional chemical treatment that creates a protective barrier, offering greater corrosion resistance than standard zinc plating.
• Can I use these screws with an impact driver?
  Yes, the deep Pozi recess withstands impact driver use. Start with a lower torque setting to prevent overdriving the screw.
• Do these screws require pilot holes in MDF?
  When fixing into MDF edges, drill pilot holes to prevent splitting. For surface fixing into MDF, you can drive the screws directly.
• What is the load-bearing capacity of these screws?
  The 3.5 x 40mm size supports general construction loads of up to 15kg when properly installed in solid timber or dense particle board.
• How close to the edge of the chipboard can I place these screws?
  Maintain a minimum distance of 10mm from board edges to prevent splitting and ensure proper holding power.
