Are there any problems at all with hammered screws?


Do you mean the ones that are designed to be hammered in - the lightly
twisted thread? If so, I've not had any real problems with them where
they are meant to be used, as in holding corrugated iron sheets on, etc.

Or do you mean hammerfix frame fixers? Same goes.

If you mean hammering in ordinary screws - it's a daft idea.


the latter. I've been doing loads of it, and it works very well.
