Questions we get asked about this item
How do I know which point number I need?
It follows the total thickness of steel the screw has to drill. Send us that figure and the screw diameter and we will name the point.
Can the No.5 point be combined with wings?
Yes. Wings ream the timber or top sheet while the No.5 point does the drilling in the steel below.
