- No coating to wear off over time, ensuring long-term durability.
- Low maintenance with reliable performance in varying temperatures.
Installation tips
- Plan your fastener layout and pre-drill pilot holes to reduce wood splitting and ensure proper alignment.
- Use a compatible hex driver for maximum torque and a flush seating of the screw head.
- Drive gradually, keeping the screw perpendicular to the wood surface for even seating.
- Pair with appropriately sized pilot holes; for hardwood, consider a larger pilot hole to aid driving without compromising strength.
