ToughButterCup Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 If - once more - I have to go to the BM to buy just 200 screws, I'll go mad. But before I buy 2000 of the wrong size, which sizes will I use most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I am very lucky, I used to fit Howdens kitchens and they used to give me a screw box as a freebie fir every kitchen, I started my build with about 6 full tins, 1000s screws, not had to buy one screw yet ? I agree with the above . These seem expensive but in the price of a build it’s nothing and there nothing better than having all your screws in one place and plenty of selection, if you use all of one size you can buy a box and top it up.

PeterW Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I agree with @joe90 about using a trade pack although I'm not keen on the Screwfix ones unless you get the top end ones and they are the same price as Fischer or Spax and the named ones are better quality. Ironmongery Direct do a trade pack of Reisser that's a reasonable price. I ordered their TimCo Velocity screws previously and did find they were pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudda Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) I've gone through through thousands. Opened up the screwfix excel sheet and filtered just wood screws just now to check for my own interest. This is just for my own house refurb over the past 18 months. Drylining internally with service cavity. New stud walls upstairs, etc. Haven't used nails. Size - Total purchased to date 16mm - 400 20mm - 400 30mm - 600 40mm - 800 50mm - 600 60mm - 700 70mm - 3500 80mm - 1600 100mm - 600 I've one or two full boxes of 40mm but everything else I've about half a box or none left. Buying a trade case like linked to above is a great start and just keep topping it up. Choice is great and for example if you have a a location and 50mm is just a tiny bit too short or long it's great having some 40 and 60mm to use. In general they've very cheap so I stock up on them all. I'm afraid to check how many drywall screws I've gone through. Also used a lot of concrete screws and special screws for timber floors not included above. Edited July 13, 2018 by Dudda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly misrepresented the offer due to the small print excluding trade packs (bugger) and tubs. These are snaps of the flier. Offer 1 is 1000 free screws witha. Kitchen survey. Offer 2 is 60% off all Reisser screws. I am estimating te 1000 screws as worth £20-25 depending on selection.

Onoff Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 You can get some good deals in Screwey's Clearance section from time to time, especially around new catalogue time. Only a couple in there at the mo though. Seems to be "odd" sizes like 45mm as opposed to 50mm that you get in there. I got all my st/st fixings like this for peanuts. Used them on the ply deck around the bath. You can type "clearance" in the Screwey's search bar. https://www.screwfix.com/p/goldscrew-plus-pz-double-self-countersunk-woodscrews-4-5-x-30mm-200-pack/6883f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
