Double Slash Point Screws

Double slash point screws feature a distinctive twin-cut point at the tip that provides faster starting in timber and better resistance to wandering than a standard gimlet point. At the DIY Hardware Store, these are available for the woodworking and joinery applications where a self-starting thread point makes installation more efficient in construction softwoods, chipboard, and MDF without pre-drilling.

The double slash cut creates two initial cutting edges at the tip, which bite into the timber surface more aggressively and consistently than a single point and reduce the tendency of the screw to skate across the surface before biting. This is particularly useful when driving into the narrow face of chipboard or MDF where a precise starting position is needed. Available in the countersunk, pozi-drive formats most commonly used in general joinery and construction applications at the DIY Hardware Store.
