ForgefixMulti-Purpose Single Thread Screws | 5.0 x 40mm | A2 Stainless Steel | Box 200

I have bought a number of these packs and at this price I expect to buy more. For outdoor use I have got truly fed up using coated outdoor screws that rot and break when you need to remove them later. Stainless steel screws are the way forward. When some old fencing collapsed during a storm recently I had a big job to do and required about 300 odd of these screws. Having bought this make before I had no hesitation in buying a load more. I had just one screw with a poor quality head that could not be used, the rest were perfect.

Wow, these are amazing, I found that you can use the gun shaped tool with the twisty bit at the end to make a hole in the wood then there is an amazing tool called a screwdriver that neatly fits into the pretty pattern cut into the top bit. If you then put the pointy end into the hole you made and use the screwdriver to turn these screws clockwise you can join two bits of wood together or join a metal bracket to the wood, just like magic. There is even a bit of metal with a shape like the end of the screwdriver that you can fit into the gun thingy that will turn the screw for you when you pull the trigger, just how amazing is that!!

Tough

Just what I wanted

Really good screws that I've used on some fencing and know I'll not have any problems with - even if I have to renew some of it - as these screws will last.

They do the job but if you hit something hard like a knot in the wood the head shears off.

Good quality stainless steel wood screws.

Easy to screw in and good grip
