The universal screw is the ultimate all-rounder in the SPAX range. It can handle almost anything – for example, it can be driven into softwoods like spruce and pine, as well as into common wood-based panels (MDF, particle board, and OSB) without any pre-drilling. Our universal screw particularly excels in interior construction and furniture making, but it is also well-suited for outdoor use with the appropriate corrosion protection. Thanks to its special thread geometry, the driving resistance when screwing is significantly lower than that of conventional screws, which not only saves your energy and nerves but also preserves the battery life of your screwdriver. Splitting of the wood near the edges is reliably prevented. This means for you: You can drive more screws per battery charge, and you don’t have to worry about split wood ends anymore.
