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 like MDF, particle board, and OSB, all without the hassle of pre-drilling. Our universal screw particularly excels in interior construction and furniture building, but it is also suitable for outdoor use when paired with the right corrosion protection. Thanks to its unique 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 conserves the battery of the screwdriver being used. Splitting of the wood near the edges is almost completely prevented. This means for you: You can drive more screws per battery charge and no longer have to worry about torn wood ends!.
