Spax 4351010400456 8 by 1 3/4-Inch Slender Head MDF Screw

The problem experienced with this purchase of Spax 13/4-inch screws concerns the packaging. I purchased three cartons each containing 200 screws, these were re-packaged in an outer corrugated case much too large to restrain the contents. In additionno air bags or paper wadding was used to stop the contents from sliding around, to further ensure that the contents would be eventually damaged, the outer case ends were only tucked in, not sealed by taping. This shipment was expected to survive the journey to New Zealand!!.The end result of this inept packaging was that two of the cartons burst open and the outer case was unable to contain the contents, resulting in the loss of twenty eight screws.Oh by the way, the screws worked really great, I would order again if I could guarantee they would be packaged correctly, the screws deserved at least four stars.

I used these for a Melamine project. They will self bore but it takes a while for the screw to penetrate the hard Melamine service and I got too much screw wobble for a straight install. Also the head will bore into the wood and counter sink, but chip the Melamine in the process. For these reasons I countered bored the top surface. Never pre-drilled the bottom board and not one slit. These will be my go to screw for Melamine / particle board and maybe many other materials.

I found the Spax #8 – 1-3/4” Slender Head MDF Screw to be a perfect screw for my MDF and have found that it truly doesn’t split! I gave the Spax screw product five stars. These screws are a time saver and really increase my work production. I have used these screws for several years now and I stand by them. The star drive is machined well and keeps the screw steady as it drives it in accurately where I want it. They also work well for other materials around the shop and have turned out to be a wonderful multipurpose screw in their own right.

seemed to work pretty well. I got a little split here and there if I strayed from dead center of 3/4 inch MDF

These screws work excellant in MDF. It is unfortunate that they do not come in a 1 1/4" length for putting 2 - 3/4" boards together.

These work great with 3/4" MDF. Does not split the MDF and the head easily submerges below the surface level.

These screws are great. Will order more when I run out.

These are super.

El producto cumple con lo especificado en mdf ...sin embargo el peso descrito en las especificaciones del producto es de 499 onzas (aprox.14.434 kilogramos) cuando su peso real es de 1 libra (434 gramos) por lo cual ese error en la descripción me decepcionó ...la caja viene con 200 tornillos y no trae la punta torx que se anuncia en la caja por ese motivo doy solo una estrella
