ForgeFix FORDWS42 Drywall Screw Phillips Bugle Head TFT ZP 3.5 x 42mm Bulk 1000

These Forgefix Phillips twin fine-thread Drywall Screws feature a durable zinc-plated finish, enhancing their resistance to corrosion. Each pack includes a Phillips No.2 insert bit for added convenience. The Bugle Head design allows the screws to sink effortlessly into dry lining without the need for countersinking, reducing the risk of surface damage.

Application:
Specifically designed for fitting dry linings to studwork.

Zinc Coating Benefits:
Zinc plating protects the screws by preventing oxidation, providing a durable, long-lasting finish. This is achieved through a dual mechanism: forming a protective barrier and acting as a sacrificial anode if the barrier is compromised. Unlike iron oxide, which can degrade surface integrity, zinc oxide forms a stable layer that further resists oxidation, similar to the natural protection seen in aluminium and stainless steel.

Phillips Screw Design:
The Phillips screw is engineered with four tapered slots, allowing a Phillips-tip screwdriver to engage efficiently. The design ensures controlled torque application, preventing over-tightening or damage to the screw head as the screwdriver disengages under excessive force.

Fine-Thread Screws:
Fine-thread screws are designed with an exceptionally sharp point, enabling them to pierce plasterboard surfaces with ease while also drilling into thin steel base structures
