ForgeFast Screws are a range of premium, high-performance screws designed to cater to the needs of construction professionals, tradespeople, and DIY enthusiasts. These screws feature an advanced self-drilling design, superior corrosion resistance, and remarkable structural integrity, making them ideal for a broad range of indoor and outdoor applications.

The primary advantage of ForgeFast Screws is their DIN338 wood drill design, which enhances their self-drilling capability. The sharp spiral grooves allow the screws to cut through wood, metal, and composite materials without needing pre-drilling. This reduces the risk of timber splitting while also speeding up the installation process—a key feature for professionals who need efficiency and reliability on the job.

The self-drilling thread on ForgeFast Screws allows for faster installation without compromising the integrity of the material. Inspired by the DIN338 wood drill design, the thread features spiral grooves that function like a drill, cutting into materials with ease and precision. This eliminates the need for pre-drilling, which is especially useful for large projects where speed and accuracy are essential.

By removing rather than displacing the material, the screws reduce the chance of timber splitting, which can be a common issue with traditional screws. This makes ForgeFast Screws a go-to solution for joiners, builders, and DIY enthusiasts alike.

One of the standout features of ForgeFast Screws is their low-torque design. When driving screws into tough materials, high torque is typically required, which can drain power tool batteries quickly. However, the ForgeFast design reduces torque, meaning you can drive screws faster while using less battery power. This is a game-changer for tradespeople who rely on cordless tools throughout the day.

By reducing torque, ForgeFast Screws not only preserve battery life but also prevent unnecessary wear and tear on power tools. This makes them an ideal choice for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts working on large projects that require a high volume of screws.

Timber splitting is a common concern during installation, especially when using screws without pre-drilling. ForgeFast has addressed this issue with its double-cutting point and anti-split technology, which significantly reduces the risk of damaging materials. The serrated cutting thread further enhances the screw’s grip, providing stronger pull-out resistance while ensuring that the wood or material remains intact.

This anti-split feature is particularly valuable for professionals working on high-precision projects such as door installations, furniture assembly, and timber framing.

For both interior and exterior applications, ForgeFast Woodscrews offer unmatched performance. These screws are designed with the following key features:

• Elementech 400 surface coating provides superior corrosion resistance, making these screws suitable for environments exposed to moisture or other corrosive elements.
• Salt spray tested to 400 hours, meaning they can withstand harsh conditions over extended periods.
• Environmentally friendly zinc-plated surface (Cr3+, Non-Cr), which lasts up to six times longer than standard zinc coatings.
• They are capable of penetrating up to 0.8mm of steel, making them versatile for wood-to-metal and metal-to-wood connections.
• Serrated cutting thread enhances pull-out strength, ensuring the screws maintain a strong grip even in softer woods.
• Reinforced countersunk neck prevents jacking (when the timber lifts or shifts during screwing), making installation smoother and reducing the likelihood of material damage.

Whether you're working on load-bearing timber constructions or delicate woodworking projects, ForgeFast Woodscrews offer the reliability and performance that professionals and DIY enthusiasts need for successful results.
