𝓢𝓬𝓻𝓮𝔀𝓼! I wanted to share this post, it is not sponsored or endorsed , just what i did, why i did it, and my own opinions! - Today i carried out a little repair to one of my garden gates, it had come under a bot of abuse from the kids and wind damage. - What was going to be a quick job refixing two of the pickets, turned into replacing all the screws! - Now i only threw these gates together and had no intention of them being used for years and years, but, i did use a very well known and used wood screw brand, And have to say i was suprised at how fast the screws had corroded in a relatively short period of time. - The screws i had used were gold in colour, wax coated and supposedly corrosion resistant, but a year later tells a different story. - Even though the screws were painted over, the rust had started to show through, so i chose to remove and replace them all with Reisser cutter screws, which are gold tropicalized, so i hope and assume these will perform better. - I like the cutter screws for their ability to ‘bite’ in, pull in smooth and fast & self countersink cleanly. I haven’t had one strip a head or snap yet. They come with two free PZ2 bits in the tub, but they will wear down before you will get through all the screws, but what do you want for free! The tubs (this one is 4.0x40mm 1200 pcs) are a good size, made of strong plastic and even have a screw measure on the lid! - I think screws can often be compromised in relation to profits, i have often come across jobs were i have tried to remove a screw and it had a stripped head, rusted out or snapped trying to remove it. Using right type of screw for the application whether it be size, coating or type, is important, i always bin the screws that come with things like brackets & equipment as more often than not they are just cheap fixings that are soft and will rust! - So that’s my opinion, what screws do you use? Does it matter to you? Have you had a nightmare with a screw?! @reisser_ltd #doscrewsmatter #screws #rightscrewfortherightjob #reisser #reisserscrews #reisserscrewsuk #woodscrews #timberscrews #opinions (at Cornwall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CABL5BADOaa/?igshid=n7sfipyux6z1
