FAQs Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: Can these screws be used outdoors?
A: These screws are suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use (e.g., covered porches or garages). For fully exposed exterior conditions, stainless steel or WIROX-coated Spax screws are recommended.

Q2: Do I need to pre-drill before driving these screws?
A: In most softwood and engineered wood applications, pre-drilling is not necessary. For hardwoods or near edges, a pilot hole may improve performance and reduce splitting.

Q3: What is the best bit to use with these screws?
A: Use a Pozidriv PZ2 or PZ3 bit depending on the exact drive configuration. Always confirm the fit before driving to ensure proper engagement and avoid cam-out.

Q4: What makes Spax VP5 screws better than generic screws?
A: Spax screws are engineered for maximum grip strength, reduced splitting, cleaner finishes, and ease of use, backed by decades of German manufacturing expertise and quality control.
