Pozi Pan Head Wood Screws.

What are Pozi Pan Head Wood Screws?

Pozi pan head wood screws are essential self-tapping fasteners designed for use in wood applications, renowned for their distinct pan-shaped head and Pozi drive system.

The Pozi drive, identified by its X-like pattern, ensures a secure fit with the driver, significantly reducing the risk of cam-out compared to traditional slotted or Phillips drives. This makes them ideal for precision-driven tasks. Similarly, the pan head on this screw offers a wide load-bearing surface with a slightly domed top.

How Pozi Pan Head Self-Tapping Wood Screws Work

Pozi pan head self-tapping wood screws excel in a multitude of scenarios due to their robust design and versatility. Commonly used in carpentry, cabinetry and general woodworking, they provide a reliable fastening solution that looks clean and offers a slimline aesthetic.

For instance, when assembling kitchen cabinet door hinges, these screws ensure a tight fit and long-lasting hold between the door, hinge and carcass, providing even weight distribution over the pan head shape. The Pozi drive's compatibility with PZ2 drivers means that professionals and DIY enthusiasts can achieve high torque without slippage, enhancing installation efficiency and reducing tool wear.

What Material Pozi Pan Head Wood Screws Are Made From

Our Pozi pan head wood screws are manufactured from high-quality 1022 carbon steel, offering a perfect balance of strength and flexibility. This material ensures that the screws can withstand the rigours of both indoor and outdoor applications. Along with a raw finish, we offer these screws in two additional finishes: zinc plated and Net-Coat® coated.

• Zinc Plated: This finish provides a layer of corrosion resistance, ideal for environments where moisture exposure is possible but minimal.
• Net-Coat® Coated: This advanced coating offers superior corrosion resistance, making it perfect for outdoor use or areas with high humidity, ensuring longevity even in the harshest conditions.
