Premium stainless steel patio screws A2 tested in 2023

The Premium Stainless Steel Decking Screws by INNONEXXT® were in a compact and stable Shipping box delivered. The shipping carton could also be opened without tools open easily. Since the shipping carton was slightly oversized, the free space was included recycled paper filled in. Inside the box were the decking screws in their product packaging. Thus, the terrace screws were during transport very well protected.

Within the Product packaging it is a resealable Cardboard box in a simple, green design. No tools are required for opening either. The box is for the decking screws appropriately sized, and filled almost to the brim with screws. This saves space during transport. The decking screws are like the product box undamaged and in very good condition. In addition to the screws, there is also a small plastic bag in the product box, in which you can find the right one for the screws Bit is welded. The bag lies on top of the screws and protects the bit from scratches caused by the sharp-edged screws. Above all, the bag ensures that the bit can be quickly and easily removed from the heap of almost identically colored screws easy to find at a hunt.

The set includes 200 decking screws. The matching bit is also supplied so that the screws can be screwed in with a standard screwdriver or cordless screwdriver with bit holder. A screwdriver is not included.

An Operating manual will also not included, but is in our view for the screws too unnecessary. The technical data with screw dimensions and material are printed on the product packaging.

The Contact details can also be found on the product packaging. These include the company name, company address and a website. Unfortunately, contact options are only available on the website. We would also have liked to have given a telephone number and an e-mail address.

The deck screws will be in the Joy Division – but with cats! Size 5,0 x 50 mm delivered. The first number is the diameter including the thread, the second number is the length from the tip to the end of the head. A measurement approved the manufacturer’s information. According to the manufacturer, the screws are off Stainless Steel and slide coated. stainless steel is corrosion and weatherproof. Therefore, the screw is also suitable for a longer stay outdoors. The Coating is characterized by a slightly greasy surface. The color of the screw is matt silver, the mass of a screw is 3,9 g.

The screw consists of five segments: She starts with one Tip, which extends over a length of 10 mm until the screw reaches its full diameter. The tip is threaded from the start and also has a cutting notch to prevent cracking and splitting. A 20 mm long seamlessly connects to the tip threaded part at. The thread pitch is 2 mm, the inner diameter is 3 mm. This is followed by the third part of the 10 mm long End mills at. This has several threads, a significantly larger thread pitch and a reduced outer diameter of 4 mm. This serves to shorten the screwing time. Another 4 mm long one follows shaft with a diameter of 3,5 mm. The end of the screw forms the conically widening Head with a length of 6 mm. This increases the diameter at the end of the screw to 6 mm. The top of the head is slightly rounded and has a profile for T25 bits.
The right one Bit T25 is matt silver like the screws. It has a length of 25 mm. With its hexagonal profile, the bit fits into standard bit holders.

Overall, both the screws and the bit holder make one very good impression of quality. They are stable and very well made. The good quality and the weather-resistant material of the screws allow for one long lifetime shut down.

For the field test becomes a commercial one Cordless Screwdriver used. Although in principle it is also possible to screw it in with a screwdriver, it is much more convenient with a cordless screwdriver. Through the thread already beginning at the tip of the screw grabs After just a few turns, the screw is firmly in the wood and begins to turn into the wood. The screws are easy and without much effort screw in The helps with that anti-friction coating. With soft wood, as in our case, no pre-drilling is necessary.
By the conicalcountersunk can be sunk completely into the wood so that nothing protrudes. A small disadvantage of the screws, however, is that they not magnetizable and therefore do not stick to the bit. This makes it easier for the screws to loosen from the bit and possibly slip between decking boards that have already been installed.

The one supplied T25 bits fits perfectly in the screws and in the bit holder of our cordless screwdriver. Unlike Phillips screws, the bit does not tend to slip out of the screw on its own. This means that after gripping the screw during screwing, there is no need to exert axial force on the screw, which makes screwing in very comfortable might. Because the bit magnetizable it stays in the bit holder even if it is held upside down – as when screwing it in. After screwing in, the bit can be easily removed from the bit holder.

After screwing it in, we found that the screws actually grip very well and stable connection create between the decking boards. It is not possible for the screws, which are completely countersunk in the wood, to get caught. This is especially important as a patio also barfuß should be accessible. Should a screw not be completely countersunk in the wood, this will help rounded shape of the screw head to reduce the risk of injury. Because the screws out weather-resistant stainless steel exist, the strength and appearance should also be maintained over a longer period of time outdoors.

In summary, the optimization of the terrace screw in the experiment actually demonstrable benefits offers. Installation is easy and convenient. Even after assembly, the screws impress with their rounded heads and high-quality material. Accordingly, screw and bit leave a mark in the practical test very good impression.
