Benefits
- Grabber’s Pro-Fit™ # 2 Phillips recess is a precision recess designed for better bit engagement resulting in less wobble or strip-out.
- Head dies are changed more frequently, screws are more evenly heat treated resulting in better formed and stronger heads that resist popping off as screws seat.
- Extra sharp alternating or high-low threads are designed to drive quicker and provide better holding power in drywall to light gauge metal or wood applications.
- Grabber’s extra sharp 23˚ Streaker® point design starts immediately and is much less likely to flop over.
Recommended Application
- Drywall to light gauge steel or wood.
Installation Guidelines
- Use a standard screwgun with a depth sensitive nose piece. Suggested screwgun specification for optimal performance – Size #6 - #8, up to 4,000 RPM.
- For gypsum board, the bugle head is fully seated when the screw is below the surface of the wallboard in accordance with Section 7.2.2 of ASTM C1002.
- Overdriving may result in failure of the fastener. The fastener must penetrate beyond the metal a minimum of three full threads.
