Drive in quickly and hold securely
These screws are a decent price and good quality.The waisted shank enables the screw to pull the two pieces of wood together with great force and the pozi-drive heads are cut deep enough to prevent the drill bit slipping as long as a suitable amount of pressure is applied by the drill user.I used these screws to make the frames for my fishing platforms and all of them worked fine so I'm confident they will hold the frames for the life of the wood no problem.Very pleased.

Strong and can be used for most of the DIY projects, except for metal
I have been looking for the wood screws for a while. Had been to B&Q but they were quite expensive so I searched here and found these Forgefix Wood Screws pack of 100. These are 100mm x 5mm screws. The packaging of the product is great and arrived safely next day.Package Contents :100x Wood ScrewsThe Forgefix Wood Screws are being sold for the use of wood, the product listing doesn’t do any justice. When I looked at the packaging it states it can be used for more or less everything, e.g. Hardwood, softwood, MDF, Particleboard, chipboard, Fibreboard, Ply, Laminates, Plastics and PVCu. So the screws can be used for more or less for most of the DIY project work, except for the project you may need specialised screws like working on metal. The build quality is good too. It is claimed it is anti-corrosive and lasts up to 6 times longer than standard zinc coatings. Well I will have to see that how true it is.NOTE: The wood screws are used for interior use only, although I will be using this for exterior DIY project (planter) where it won’t be exposed to water or rain directly as I plan to use a transparent cover like a green house.I really hope you found my review helpful and would love for you to click on the “YES” button to say so.

Viciously effective screws
I'm currently doing some work in my house to an extension, putting in a lot of stud framing and some moisture-proof chipboard flooring. I've been using a combination of my existing stock of screws (screwfix branded) and these Forgefix screws. Both are identical 4.5x60mm wood screws, so the comparison has been easy.Side by side, the Forgefix has easily outperformed the Screwfix screws. The serrated edges really bite and chew through the wood and make light work of big projects. On the chipboard they do take an extra moment to get the initial purchase, but still quicker than the Screwfix ones.One word of caution though, they are vicious things. They will chew through your skin/gloves if you're not careful. While you're holding them waiting for the initial bite, as they spin they will quickly slice into you. I had several screws that had little metal splinters up towards the head, were you tend to hold them, which tore into my forefinger and thumb pretty easily. So, highly efficient but with a bit of a kick to them.

Strong heads, good grip in the wood, problem free.
For someone like me who can be gung ho with tools these have stood the test well, I was once described by a friend as being "a bit ferocious with a drill" yet these manage to keep the heads intact without being rounded out. (I have since improved and learned the setting of the tool I might add). These bite into wood very well and screw in easily, I bought these as I needed super fast delivery to finish an important picket fence job to stop dogs getting out and literally didn't look into it I just got the size I needed and bought them, what a stroke of luck this was. I have now found a decent quality screw, easy to use and can withstand my abuse and heavy handedness , I will purchase this make again and again and recommend to others. Great product.

Solid Fixing
Great value for high quality screws is my view. These are premium grade screws that drive in fast and hold securely in both soft and hard wood.The top part of the screw has a different pitch of thread so that when driven home the ability of the screw to pull clear again is reduced.I used an impact driver on these and experienced no failures so they are plenty strong enough for general use.Overall, a high quality well priced fixing.

Excellent screws, and well priced.
These are excellent screws, and well priced. I had a three-way fence joint which had become a bit loose over a few years, the wood still good but ground settling over time had caused gaps: a few of these solved the problem straight away. No need for a pilot hole, they go into the wood easily and without splitting, and they grip very well. I shall be buying more in different sizes for general use: recommended.

Colour not as described but performance fine
These screws are described as having a 'silver' colour, both in the Product Title and the Technical Details section:Forgefix FORFFP320Y 3 x 20 mm Forgefast Pozi Compatible Elite Performance ZY Wood Screw Box - Silver (Pack of 200)However, although they're hardened steel, they're not silver-coloured; they're brass-coloured, with the usual holographic multi-colour (red/blue) effect on top. This meant they weren't quite right for the purpose I ordered them.The actual performance of the screw is fine though.

It’s a screw, it has one job and did it well for me
Used these to screw down my oh so squeaky floor boards on the landing, worked a treat, the landing floor is now completely silent, the bathroom floor however now squeaks instead, oh well, can’t really blame the screws for that, having tried “normal” screws before to no avail I was, at least for a short time, really happy with the results, like I mentioned the before the bathroom floor now squeaks instead of the landing, doh.Great screws for squeaky floors, just don’t drive them in too hard or they will pull all the way through the boards
