Features Of The Spax Screws

What sets Spax screws apart from the competition is the patented design used on the screw. This design has given them the edge among other competitors. Their reputation and good name depends on this very feature that the company is very proud of. Features of the Spax fastener line up include:

• Patented serrated thread design: German engineers perfected this technology. By serrating the edge of the lower portion of threads, you can drive the screws easily without the need for pre-drilling. This technology helps to reduce the needed driving torque by up to 40 percent, depending on the materials and screw used. Best of all, these technologies help reduce cracking and splitting of logs and wood significantly.
• Proprietary corrosion-resistant coating: This coating ensures the fasteners will last longer than competitor’s screws. This same coating helps to prevent discoloration of materials in moist environments.
• Fastener Identification Stamps: Stamps are included on every head for easy identification on the job site. This makes inspections and re-ordering supplies a breeze.
