The universal screw is the ultimate all-rounder in the SPAX range. It can do almost anything – for example, it can be screwed into softwoods like spruce and pine, as well as into common wood-based panels (MDF, chipboard, and OSB boards) without the annoying need for pre-drilling. Our universal screw particularly demonstrates its superiority in interior construction and furniture building, but it can also be effectively used outdoors with the appropriate corrosion protection. Thanks to its special thread geometry, the driving resistance when screwing is significantly lower than with conventional screws, which not only saves your energy and nerves but also preserves the battery life of the screwdriver 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 you no longer have to worry about splintered wood ends!.
