Description
The Timco Solo Wood Screws Zinc Yellow 4.5 millimetres x 40 millimetres Pack of 200 delivers professional-grade fastening strength for timber, man-made boards, plasterboard, and sheet materials. Engineered with a deep single thread, sharp point, and double countersunk head, these screws are built to perform across various construction and woodworking applications. Whether used in framing, cabinetry, furniture assembly, or wall fixings, they provide strong grip, fast penetration, and a clean finish. These screws are manufactured from high quality carbon steel and coated with a zinc yellow passivation finish to provide resistance against corrosion in clean and dry environments. With a 4.5 millimetres diameter and 40 millimetres length, they are fully threaded to maximise grip and holding power. Each screw conforms to BS EN 14592-2008 and carries the CE Mark for structural applications, confirming its strength and safety in load-bearing use. The fully threaded design means the screw engages with the material along its entire length, making it ideal for tasks that require a secure, vibration-resistant hold. These screws are especially effective in timber and man-made boards but also suitable for use in masonry when used with a plastic plug, offering flexibility across multiple substrates. A key feature is the 25 degree sharp point which enables quick and accurate starting. This eliminates the need for pilot holes in most woods, reduces the risk of splitting, and ensures a cleaner finish. The single lead design allows the screw to drive straight and with less effort, improving installation speed and consistency. The 40 degree deep single thread delivers excellent pull-out resistance and grip strength. This ensures the screw remains firmly seated under load or pressure, making it reliable for both interior fitting and structural framing. It performs well in softer woods, chipboard, and MDF, reducing the likelihood of the screw working loose over time. Another advantage is the double countersunk head, which not only enhances the strength of the screw under torque but also helps it sit flush with the surface for a tidy finish. This design spreads load across a larger area to reduce the chance of head shear and allows the screw to sit neatly in the material without bulging or protruding. The screws are wax lubricated, which aids in quicker insertion and reduces driving torque. This ensures a smoother installation with less stress on power tools and reduced wear on driver bits. The lubrication also helps to protect against rust during storage and application, increasing the overall reliability of the fixing. These screws are compatible with a No 2 Pozi driver bit, which is widely used and fits most standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers. The cross recess on the head ensures stable and slip-free driving even under high torque, improving control and reducing the risk of cam-out. Each box contains 200 screws, conveniently packed for ease of access and identification on site or in the workshop. The compact box design ensures safe storage and easy transport between tasks. Whether you are working on internal joinery, building frameworks, fixing plasterboard, or working with sheet materials, these screws offer excellent performance and value for a wide range of applications. The Timco Solo XR range is trusted by professionals and DIY users alike for its combination of strength, speed, and reliability. These screws are CE marked and tested to ensure compliance with structural and safety standards, making them a dependable choice for construction and woodworking projects.
