Spax Flat Countersunk Screws VP5 – 5.0 x 100mm (200 Pack)

Professional Grade Wood Screws for Precision Timber Fixing

Product Overview:

The Spax VP5 Flat Countersunk Screws (5x100mm) are premium-quality wood screws engineered for high-performance fastening in timber, chipboard, MDF, and engineered wood applications. With SPAX’s advanced manufacturing standards, these screws deliver superior driveability, high pull-out strength, and professional-quality finishes—making them a preferred choice for joiners, builders, and interior installers.

Each screw features a flat countersunk head for flush finishes, a sharp point for fast, split-free penetration, and is coated for enhanced durability. Supplied in a value-packed box of 200 units, these screws are ideal for medium- to large-scale projects where consistent fastening strength is essential.

Key Features and Benefits:

1. High-Precision Flat Countersunk Head (VP5 Design):

• Ensures flush-fitting installation in wood, panels, or boards.

• Offers a clean and smooth surface finish—ideal for visible joinery or surfaces that will be filled or painted.

• Compatible with standard PZ2 or PZ3 bits (based on exact recess specification).

2. Advanced Thread Geometry:

• Designed for high pull-out resistance and secure wood-to-wood joining.

• Provides strong clamping action with reduced splitting tendencies.

• Offers efficient material displacement, especially in softwood and MDF.

3. Sharp, Fast-Start Tip:

• Enables quick bite and rapid penetration without pre-drilling (in most softwoods and composites).

• Helps eliminate the need for pilot holes, saving time during installation.

4. Durable Protective Coating:

• Corrosion-resistant coating provides increased lifespan for internal and sheltered external use.

• Ensures consistent driving performance even after long storage periods.

5. Engineered for Easy, Fast Installation:

• Reduced drive-in torque improves battery tool efficiency and user comfort.

• Maintains alignment and reduces cam-out when used with high-quality driver bits.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: Can these screws be used outdoors?
A: These screws are suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use (e.g., covered porches or garages). For fully exposed exterior conditions, stainless steel or WIROX-coated Spax screws are recommended.

Q2: Do I need to pre-drill before driving these screws?
A: In most softwood and engineered wood applications, pre-drilling is not necessary. For hardwoods or near edges, a pilot hole may improve performance and reduce splitting.

Q3: What is the best bit to use with these screws?
A: Use a Pozidriv PZ2 or PZ3 bit depending on the exact drive configuration. Always confirm the fit before driving to ensure proper engagement and avoid cam-out.

Q4: What makes Spax VP5 screws better than generic screws?
A: Spax screws are engineered for maximum grip strength, reduced splitting, cleaner finishes, and ease of use, backed by decades of German manufacturing expertise and quality control.
