The PowerHead Screws main advantage is its large, oversized flat head that won't pull through your attaching material. The oversized head has 4x the holding power than a conventional screw head. Nibs under the head will clear away material to allow the top of the head to sit flush with the surface.

The Type 17 point is not a thread style but can enhance the performance qualities of most thread styles used in the woodworking industry. A slot or notch is cut out at the point of the screw that acts like an auger or drilling tip. The slot carves away the material thus allowing it to self-drill itself into most types of wood. In many instances it can eliminate the need for a pre-drilled hold to relieve splitting. The Type 17 point is excellent for hardwoods, softwoods, particleboard and especially MDF.

Deep Thread: Characterized by a reduced diameter shank resulting in a deep thread profile. A single lead thread, meaning that one revolution advances the screw one pitch.

The deep thread form provides superior resistance to pull-out. This design feature is commonly called a Lo-Root® or Production Screw.

PowerHead Screws will fasten to MDF boards and there is no need to pre-drill. However, it is recommended to test drilling a screw into a sample piece of MDF before beginning the final project. Depending on the manufacturer of the MDF board, varying amounts of glue are used in different boards. If a large amount of glue is used in the board, there is a greater chance that the board will crack and/or develop a bump when the screw is drilled into the board. If the tested area does crack or bump, it is recommended, in this case, to pre-drill.

The silver appearance of Clear Zinc has been around for many years and remains very popular. It also provides a moderate level of rust protection. Since this is a true electroplating, the zinc coating is part of the surface of the steel and very durable.

The Torx Recess fastener has been an automotive industry standard for many years now.

Torx is a patented brand name for a six-pointed drive pattern developed in 1967 by Camcar Textronic. The Generic name is Start Drive is commonly used instead of the Trade Marked Torx to identify the six lobed drive system. Other companies have branded their own particular six-lobbed drive system like SPAX® has a T-Star and T-Star Plus. By design, the six lobbed drive resists Cam-Out better than Phillips (Phillips is designed to Cam-Out to prevent over torquing) and slotted head screws.

Sizes are numbered and all start with a "T-" and range from 1 to 100. Starting with T-1 to T-10 they step up by increments of 1. From T-10 to T-45 they step up in increments of 5 and from T-50 to T100, they step up in increments of 10.

FEATURES:

• Large Oversized 9/16" diameter heads provide 4 times the holding power of other screws.
• Type 17 point allows for self-drilling
• When used with FastCap's FlushMount Drill Bit (part # FCS-6050), the screw head can be hidden perfectly behind a peel-and-stick FastCap.

For seating the screwhead flush, use of the Flush Mount Drill is recommended. When counterboring with the flush mount drill, ample material thickness must remain for overall strength.
