Torx wood screws are countersunk timber screws with a six-lobe star drive. The Torx recess grips the bit far better than Phillips, so the bit does not cam out and long screws can be driven fast with an impact driver. They are used for framing, decking, landscaping and heavier timber construction.
Linkworld supplies countersunk Torx wood screws in hardened carbon steel and stainless steel, with zinc, Class 3 and Class 4 coatings. We pack in bulk cartons or in your own branded packs, and sizes, head styles and coatings can be made to your drawing or sample.

Common Purchasing Mistakes
Mixing Torx sizes. Different bit sizes on similar screws confuse installers. Keep the range consistent.
Zinc screws outdoors. Use Class 3, Class 4 or stainless outdoors.
Short screws in thick members. Check the length needed in the second timber member.
One code for all coatings. Zinc, Class 3 and Class 4 screws should have separate codes.
