Fancy a screw?
I do, couple of thousand in fact.
Assuming that got past your SPAM filter... When I were a lad, we had phillips and slotted, brass and steel, round heads, countersunk and the old one inbetween in between. Went to Screwfix with the intent of buying a couple of mega packs of general purpose woodscrews... Turbogold, goldscrew, spax, quicksilver... Ow... I feel like someone just dug me out the ground (I'm 40). So whats the best general purpose screw these days? I have two principal uses: Screw to wood and screw to masonary walls with plugs. Should I just go with the screws I know and love, or are these new products really better? I don't mind being old fashioned and drilling pilot holes and countersinking. Cheers Tim |
