Are these fixings right for every job, or do some projects need specialised fasteners?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Holding Strength: High shear resistance thanks to C10-18 steel hardened to 750 HV, fully threaded to 50mm
- • Best for: Plasterboard installers and DIYers fitting internal partitions and timber battens
- • Not ideal for: Projects specifying stainless steel fasteners or specialised marine environments
Manufactured to recognised standards for consistent penetration and thread engagement. Plating and surface hardening increase resistance to torque shearing and surface corrosion.
Easier penetration and reduced board damage - thanks to 25 Super Sharp point and 60 thread
A 25 Super Sharp point combined with a 60 thread count promotes fast, positive bite into plasterboard and timber. Thread geometry and sharp point reduce the force needed from a powered driver.
Quicker starts and fewer split boards during installation, so fixings go in cleanly and more predictably. That helps maintain a neat surface ready for finishing.
Secure hold across material thicknesses - with full threading up to 50mm
Threads run fully along the shank up to 50mm, then become partially threaded thereafter, improving grip where boards meet supporting timber or battens. Consistent thread engagement boosts withdrawal resistance.
Reliable grip in standard plasterboard and timber applications, giving firmer joints that resist loosening under load. Ideal for repeated installations where consistency matters.
Greater resistance to torque shearing - with C10-18 steel hardened to 750 HV
Made from C10-18 steel and surface hardened to around 750 HV, the fasteners resist deformation under driver torque. Hardening reduces the risk of sheared heads or snapped shanks during high-torque insertion.
Fewer broken fixings and less disruptive rework on site, saving time during large batches of installations. Toughness also supports use with modern cordless drivers.
