The SPAX typical drive T-STAR plus is a so-called internal hexagon. This shape increases the contact area of our T-STAR plus, allowing the T-STAR plus bits to fit perfectly into the screw head. The optimal power transfer from the driver to the screw through T-STAR plus enables quick work, significantly more efficiently than with any other drives.

The countersunk head (or flat countersunk head) mills a recess into the wood with its polygonal underside ("pockets") and can therefore be sunk without additional countersinking of the screw hole. The countersunk head sits flush with the surface.

In contrast to partial threads, the full thread extends over the entire length of the screw. The more thread turns a screw has, the greater the tensile and compressive forces that can be transferred from the screw to the wood. Our full-thread screws are primarily used for highly stressed wood connections.

The S-tip is characterized by the fact that the thread extends into the front flanks. When you place the screw and start the cordless screwdriver, this thread immediately grips the wood and effortlessly pulls the screw in. This allows for quick work without scratching the workpiece due to the screw tips slipping.

With WIROX, SPAX has developed a coating that is far superior to galvanization in terms of corrosion protection. WIROX does not use chromium (VI), and the screws remain just as durable after years in non-directly weathered outdoor areas, while also being environmentally friendly. WIROX screws are the first choice for all open structures without direct weather exposure, such as carports or pergolas; for direct weather exposure, such as terraces, we recommend our screws in stainless steel.
