Specifications

Which one do I need?

A 80mm screw is a long fixing, so measure the joint first: the point should end up buried in the base, not poking out of the back.

How to use

1. Clamp the pieces, then mark the fixing points and check there is nothing hidden behind.
2. Pre-drill in dense timber so the 5.0 x 80mm (10 x 3 1/8 inch) screw can follow a straight line.
3. Push a matching bit fully into the head and drive at a steady speed.
4. Sink the head to the surface and stop; extra turns can strip the wood.
