• Easy installation and removal with external hex drive design providing secure tool engagement and high torque capability
• Optimized wood penetration with pointed tip and partial threading design that minimizes wood splitting while maximizing grip
• Reliable dimensional consistency meeting DIN 571 standards for precise fit and predictable performance in professional applications
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH compliance for safe use in regulated industries and projects
• Heavy-duty length specification at 160mm with 96mm minimum thread length for deep penetration in structural wood connections

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M8 hex head wood screws deliver exceptional engineering value through their specialized thread forming design and zinc-plated steel construction. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for pre-tapping in wood applications, creating stronger thread engagement that resists loosening under vibration and load cycles. The partial threading configuration provides concentrated holding power where it matters most, while the unthreaded shank section prevents wood splitting in dense materials. The external hex drive ensures reliable torque transmission for high-clamp force applications in construction, timber framing, and furniture manufacturing. With M8 x 3.6mm pitch metric threading, these screws offer optimal load distribution in both softwoods and hardwoods, making them ideal for structural connections, deck building, and outdoor wood structures where corrosion resistance and long-term performance are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This wood screw features metric M8 threading with 3.6mm pitch and right-hand thread direction, manufactured to DIN 571 standards for dimensional accuracy and performance reliability. The 160mm overall length includes a minimum 96mm threaded section with pointed tip for easy wood penetration. The external hex head measures 13mm across flats with 5.5mm height for standard wrench applications. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across European markets and regulated construction projects.
