As the name suggests, these screws can be used when doing general DIY work with chipboard and other softer types of woods.

Unlike the Cut screws, they do not have the Type 17 cutting point and, therefore, require pilot holes, drilled 2mm smaller than the size of screw used. A Pozi screwdriver bit is then required to drive the screws home, but care must be taken as they have a tendency to slip and strip.
