Having bought screws just the other day, I was exasperated at how I could not figure out how long the screw actually is between my thumb and finger cause they’re in a sealed box.
But I knew exactly which material they have been plated/hardened with. 🤷
So, I understand why you posted this.
And the info about the (pre) drilling is just 😙👌
Yes, no need to guess or to do test holes to see which drill size is correct
While I’m certainly no handyman, I usually just hold the drill bit to the screw to find one slightly smaller, then just use that.
I am fairly handy and have never had that method fail for anything except screwing into thick metal, in which case I’m tapping threads and using a bolt anyway.
Generally screw length is measured by how deep it will go into the material. For instance a countersunk screw would be measured from the top of the head to the end of the screw. A pan head screw would be measured from the bottom of the head to the end of the screw.
Except for the German translation, which was either made by an idiot or Google translate…
Surely is an einzelfaden lol
I suspect that they’re all like that.
Dutch as well. I don’t think “enkeldraad” is a good way to translate “single thread” when talking about screw threads.
Huh, that’s pretty normal around here. But the German translation of “thread” is wrong. Literally unusable screw, light it on fire immediately.
In spanish it says it is a yellow single thread, no mention to screws
Wrong word for thread though. Should be rosca
In German it should be Gewinde.
Sideways on the corner of the box, “tornillo multiusos”
I love how evocative the word tornillo is. In my mind it translates as “little twisty thing”.
A bricklayer will try to use these with a hammer.
The internet has ruined me because I looked at the part code and snickered.
God damnit XD
What is pozi compatible recess?
Pozidrive is a type of screwhead like Phillips head. Its shape is similar to a Phillips head, but it has indentations at the inside corners of the “cross” (the black silhouette of the screwhead on the OP packaging shows this better than I can explain it). Pozidrive screwdrivers have lobes that slot into these indentations. IIRC, pozidrive is supposed to have less chance of camming out of the screw and stripping the head than Phillips.
Pozi compatible recess means that you’ll be able to use a pozidrive screwdriver with these screws.
As a guy who rides Japanese motorcycles, giv me JIS, or give me death.

Unless you use a regular Philips head with them and then they have a hire chance of camming out 🙂.
It’s a scheme
Fucking love that
