Anyone who hasn't sampled the delights of the Turbo Gold screw - a thing of
wondrous beauty - nows your chance.

£25 for 2,600 of the little gems + a steel case.

As you might have guessed I rather like them.

Those trade cases always seem weighted away from what I mostly use.
When are we going to be able to select the mix we want in the box
online?

Oh - and I'm shifting more to spax.

I've been using Spax recently (a local shed closed down and was
knocking them out for bugger-all money) and I love them.

How do Turbo Golds compare?

Our local B&Q must be doing the same thing - they had a bin full of Spax
for 50p a box last weekend. The 'middle' sizes were mostly gone, but I
had plenty of those anyway...

The Spax ones are better, IME, and the Torx versions better than the Pozidriv.

TurboGold seem to tear a bit more, Spax cuts a smoother thread - but
TG is a lot cheaper.

I think spax are revising their packaging and naming scheme - there
may be more old stock bargains

I think Screwfix Goldscrews are closer to Spax than their Turbogold are.
The turbos have notches in the threads. Personally I prefer the Gold
and snaffled a trade case of them for about the same price when they were
on clearance a couple of years ago.
