Choosing the right material

For every construction or repair job, the right material is essential. Understand load capacity, material properties and application conditions before making a choice.

Calculation and dimensions

Measure twice, order once. Check all dimensions carefully and calculate with a cutting margin of 5 to 10 percent extra material for waste and breakage.

Tool maintenance

Sharp and clean tools work safer and more accurately. Clean tools after each use, store them dry and regularly check cutting edges for wear.

Frequently asked questions

Which screw do I need?

The choice depends on the material you are screwing into. Wood screws have coarse threads, metal screws fine threads.

What is the difference between concrete screws and plugs?

For plugs, the drill size is printed on the plug packaging.
