Reisser Woodscrews: Durability and Performance at Your Fingertips

Reisser stands as a hallmark of innovation and excellence in the fastener industry. Known for its dedication to quality and performance, Reisser has been at the forefront of the woodscrew market, catering to the needs of tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts.  Reisser is particularly renowned for its premium woodscrews, which are designed with the highest standards of durability and functionality in mind. As a company that has built its reputation on the principles of reliability and customer satisfaction, Reisser continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in fastener technology, ensuring that every product carries the promise of impeccable performance.

About Reisser

Founded in Germany in 1921, Reisser established a robust fastener industry legacy. The company's journey began with a commitment to providing superior fastening solutions that meet the rigorous demands of construction and manufacturing. In 1981, this vision expanded further with the establishment of Reisser Limited in the UK, marking a significant milestone in the brand's history. Since then, Reisser has not only maintained its heritage of quality but has also embraced innovation, leading to the development of products that are both efficient and ground-breaking.


In its pursuit of excellence, Reisser has formed longstanding partnerships with manufacturers, particularly in Taiwan, where decades of collaboration have ensured that no compromise is made on quality. These relationships are underpinned by a shared commitment to innovation and excellence, allowing Reisser to maintain its status as one of the UK's leading suppliers of premium woodscrews.


The brand's influence in the industry is evidenced by its role in setting standards for high-performance woodscrews. With a focus on constant improvement and customer feedback, Reisser continues to lead the way, ensuring that each product not only meets but exceeds the expectations of professionals across the UK and beyond.

Connection Between T.H. Wiggans and Reisser

T.H. Wiggans Ironmongery Ltd has been a trusted supplier of Reisser woodscrews long before Reisser officially established its presence in the UK in 1981. Known by the local trade in the Kendal area as specialists in woodscrews, we have built a reputation for holding large stocks of Reisser products, including the popular Reisser R2 and R2 Cutter Woodscrews, as well as the Reisser Zinc Twin Thread Range.


Our extensive inventory not only features these high-demand items but also includes a comprehensive array of Reisser power tool accessories like Torsion and Impact Screwdriver Bits. Our knowledgeable staff are always available to provide expert advice, ensuring our customers select the best Reisser products for their specific projects.


This deep-rooted partnership between T.H. Wiggans and Reisser underscores our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, making us a trusted source for high-quality tools and accessories in the hardware industry for decades. Our specialization in woodscrews and our commitment to maintaining substantial stock levels make us the go-to supplier in the region.

Reisser R2 Woodscrews

For over three decades, Reisser R2 Woodscrews have been the go-to choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike, renowned for their consistent performance across a variety of timber and board materials. These screws are engineered to penetrate nearly all types of wood effortlessly, thanks to their sharp 25º needlepoint, which eliminates the need for a pilot hole. This feature is especially beneficial for quick and efficient work, saving time and reducing labour.


Advanced Design and Build Quality

The Reisser R2's superior construction begins with its specially hardened steel, which endows the screw with maximum tensile and torsional strength. This ensures longevity and reliability even under stressful conditions. The screws feature a deep, wide thread that is not only sharp but also includes an invisible Reisser lubrication. This unique lubrication reduces driving resistance by up to 40%, facilitating easy and swift penetration into the material.


Enhanced Durability and Fit

One of the standout features of the Reisser R2 Woodscrews is their yellow tropicalized coating, which provides significantly better corrosion resistance compared to standard BZP-coated screws. This makes them ideal for use in environments where moisture and corrosion could be an issue. Furthermore, each screw boasts a reinforced pozi drive countersunk head recess, enhancing the fit between the screw and the driver bit. This design reduces the likelihood of "cam out," providing extra strength at the critical junction between the shank and head of the screw.


Versatility in Application

Reisser R2 Woodscrews are available in a variety of sizes, from 3.0 x 10mm to 6.0 x 240mm, and come in both full and part thread options. The full-thread screws are best suited for board materials, ensuring secure fastening, while the part-thread screws are ideal for pulling two pieces of timber tightly together. This versatility makes them suitable for a broad range of applications, from simple home DIY projects to complex construction tasks.


Consistent Quality and Packaging

  • Rigorous Quality Checks: Every batch of Reisser R2 Woodscrews is thoroughly inspected to ensure the highest standards of quality are maintained, reflecting the brand's commitment to consistency.
  • Variety of Packaging Options: Available in several packaging formats to meet diverse needs:
    • Craft Boxes: Typically contains 100-200 screws.
    • Industry Boxes: Usually stocked with 500 to 1000 screws.
    • Bulk Boxes: Range from 300 to 50,000 screws depending on the size.
    • R2 Tubs and R2 Trade Packs: Designed for professional and trade use.
  • Informative Packaging: The packaging is not only attractive but also informative, providing essential information at a glance and ensuring the screws are well-protected.

Comprehensive Use Cases

  • Versatile Application: Designed for use in all types of timber, including hardwoods, and various board materials.
  • No Pre-Drilling Needed: The screws can be driven immediately into materials like plywood without a pre-drilled pilot hole, thanks to their sharp 25º needle point.
  • Reliable Performance: Whether the project involves softwood or the most challenging hardwoods, Reisser R2 Woodscrews deliver exceptional reliability and efficiency, ensuring a secure and tight fit in any application.

With their combination of advanced features, rigorous quality control, and versatile application possibilities, the Reisser R2 Woodscrews from T.H. Wiggans Ironmongery represent a pinnacle of screw technology, promising to deliver unmatched performance and reliability for any project.

Reisser R2 Cutter Screws

Reisser R2 Cutter Woodscrews embody the pinnacle of technological innovation in woodscrew design. Crafted for ultimate performance and flawless finishes in all wood applications, these screws are a testament to Reisser's commitment to excellence. Ideal for professional and DIY projects alike, the R2 Cutter screws offer distinctive features that set them apart in the fastening industry.


Key Features and Benefits

  • Distinct Ribs and Tucks: The design of the R2 Cutter screws includes ribs and tucks under the head which allow them to self-countersink seamlessly into timber and board materials, eliminating the need for pre-drilling or counterboring.
  • Reinforced Collar: This feature enhances the structural integrity of the screws, preventing snapping and allowing a deeper engagement with the pozi drive, significantly reducing the risk of cam-out during application.
  • Lubricated, Sharp, Wide, Deep Thread: The threads are treated with Reisser's unique lubricant, reducing driving resistance by up to 40%. This facilitates quicker and easier penetration into materials without the need for a pilot hole, saving time and effort.
  • Yellow Tropicalized Finish: Provides superior rust resistance compared to standard BZP coatings, ensuring longevity and durability even in harsh environmental conditions.
  • Two Patented Slots: Incorporated in screws 25mm and above, these slots prevent the wood from splitting when screws are placed close to edges, enhancing the versatility and application range of the screws.
  • 25º Needle Point: The sharply angled point allows for an immediate start in penetrating wood, simplifying the initial placement and reducing material damage.

Applications

Reisser R2 Cutter Woodscrews are versatile and can be used in a variety of wood materials including:


  • All wood types
  • Hardwood
  • Plywood
  • Board materials

This wide applicability makes them suitable for numerous construction and DIY projects, ensuring a perfect finish and stronghold in different materials.


Packaging and Sizes

Reisser R2 Cutter Woodscrews are available in various packaging options designed to cater to different project scales and user needs. Here’s a detailed look at each option:


  • Craft Boxes: Typically contain 100-200 screws, ideal for smaller or individual projects where fewer screws are needed but quality is paramount.
  • R2 Tubs and Mega Tubs: These containers offer a larger quantity of screws, suitable for more extensive projects or for professionals who use screws frequently. The tubs are designed to be durable and convenient for regular use.
  • R2 Cutter Trade Packs: Specifically designed for professional use, these packs provide a bulk supply of screws necessary for large-scale construction tasks, ensuring that professionals have a steady supply for their projects.

A standout feature of Reisser Decking Screws is the KO2 Drive System . This system, resembling a four-leaf clover, represents a significant advancement in drive systems, offering several key advantages:
