Optimaxx Extreme Performance Woodscrew 5.0mm x 80mm - TORX - Box of 200
ref: C488-540
Key Features
Unique 24 slots cut into the underside of the head - self countersinks into all material without the need to counter bore and without surface damage.
Double reinforced collar - significantly strengthens the underside of the head.
Sharp, wide, deep thread formation coated with a unique lubricant.
Sharp sawtooth formation cut out of the bottom threads - on insertion the threads bite into the timber reducing torque and resistance, enabling fast penetration without a pilot hole.
Specically positioned long thin groove – dramatically reduces pressure build-up on insertion by dispensing wood fibres, preventing splitting when screwing close to the edge.
Razor sharp point as low as 20°, with a thread that extends to the tip of the screw - giving you an immediate start even with the hardest, smoothest surfaces.
OPTIMAXX woodscrews are fully threaded up to 50mm and then partially threaded thereafter.
Torx drive is popular due to the profile offering much greater cam-out resistance compared to Phillips or Pozi head screws. The Torx drive, therefore, allows for a higher torque to be exerted on the screws versus the more commonly used head types, thus driving screws faster and further into the material.
