Spax Chipboard screws

The SPAX typical drive T-STAR plus is a so-called internal hexagon. This shape increases the contact area of our T-STAR plus, allowing the T-STAR plus bits to fit optimally in the screw head. The best possible power transfer from the screwdriver to the screw through T-STAR plus enables quick work, significantly more efficiently than with any other drives. Our universal screw with a pan head is an example of how screw connections can also look good when needed. The spherical screw head with T-STAR plus or cross-slot Z-drive is suitable for the visible fastening of metal fittings to wood, with the underside of the head lying flat against the metal. The WIROX surface adapts to the color of the respective silver-colored metal fittings. Unlike partial threads, the full thread extends along the entire length of the screw. The more thread turns a screw has, the greater the tensile and compressive forces that can be transferred from the screw to the wood. Our full-thread screws are primarily used for high-load wooden connections. The term 4CUT refers to the square shape of the screw tip. These edges displace the wood fibers during insertion and create space for the core diameter of the screw. The spreading pressure exerted by the core in the wood is thus reduced, preventing the wood from splitting near the edge. The required torque of the cordless screwdriver is also reduced, as the core of the screw does not have to "squeeze" into the wood. With WIROX, SPAX has developed a coating that is far superior to galvanization in terms of corrosion protection. WIROX does not use chromium (VI), and the screws remain just as load-bearing even after years in non-directly weathered outdoor areas, and they are also environmentally friendly.
