Product Description:

This box supplies 200 woodscrews at 3.5 x 25mm, a short, fine screw for light fixing and joinery work. It suits fitting hinges, handles, catches, and ironmongery, fixing thin plywood, MDF, and panel backs, attaching brackets, cabinet fittings, and shelf supports, fixing beading and small trims, and general repair work around the house and workshop.

At 25mm the screw gives noticeably more bite than a 16mm without becoming long enough to break through standard boards and door stiles. It passes through a hinge plate, bracket, or thin panel and drives a useful depth into the timber behind, which makes it the most widely used of the short lengths and a sensible size to keep in stock for everyday fixing. The 3.5mm diameter is fine enough for use in small sections, thin battens, and finished joinery without splitting the timber or leaving an oversized hole.

The screw is built around how it grips. A single thread cuts cleanly into the timber and compresses the fibres as it drives, giving good holding power for its size, while the countersunk head pulls flush into the surface of a hinge plate, bracket, or board, and the reinforced drive recess holds the bit securely with less cam-out. Pilot holes are worth drilling in hardwoods and close to edges, where a fine screw can split the timber if driven straight in.
