M5.5 Torx Flat Head

M5.5 A4 Stainless Torx, Flat Cylinder Head, Split Wood Thread

TBS-Drill, cylinder head terrace screws

How to Measure Length:

Always measured from the top of the head to the end of the threading (overall length).

Which materials can this screw be used with?

• Melamine, Engineered Wood, Composite Wood, Softwood
• Commonly used in cabinetry construction.

What are the benefits of choosing this screw?

• Cylinder under head locks screw into wood and prevents pulling through into softer materials.
• Additional threading under cylinder tightens and secures boards, preventing screws from loosening.
• Also known as a confirmat head, or punch head.
• When installed, the head of this screw is meant to sit flush with the surface of the work in a countersunk hole.

Why choose a Six-Lobe Torx Drive?

Torx drive screws provide higher torque transfer because the driving forces are transferred to each surface of the six lobes (wobble-free), instead of the four edges of the four edges on a phillips drive. Less overall force is needed to install these screws.

The slim design of an torx socket wrench allows access to tight locations.
