Self-drilling Phosphated Wood Screw Koelner/Rawlplug 3.5x35 mm, container of 6

Self-drilling phosphated wood screw Koelner/Rawlplug 3.5x35 mm in a container of 6 pieces is designed for fastening thin or soft wooden elements and joining light fittings without the need for pre-drilling in many situations. The screw combines a corrosion-resistant phosphated surface with a self-drilling tip and a thread geometry suitable for wood-to-wood and wood-to-light-metal connections. The 3.5 mm diameter and 35 mm length make it appropriate for furniture assembly, mounting hinges and brackets, and general carpentry tasks where compact fasteners are required.

Advantages

The phosphated finish provides increased resistance to surface corrosion while maintaining good driveability and minimal friction during installation. The integrated self-drilling tip reduces installation time by eliminating or limiting the need for pilot holes in soft and thin materials. The screw’s thread and shank proportions offer reliable holding power in wood and composite boards, and the compact container of six pieces is convenient for small repair, assembly or finishing jobs.

Suitable for

• Furniture assembly and repair
• Mounting hinges, brackets and fittings to thin wooden panels
• Light carpentry and joinery tasks
• Fixing trim, moldings and small decorative elements
• Quick indoor repairs where corrosion resistance is beneficial

Key specifications

• Material finish: phosphated surface for improved corrosion protection
• Type: self-drilling wood screw with drill-point tip
• Diameter: 3.5 mm
• Length: 35 mm
• Pack size: container of 6 pieces
• Intended use: fastening in soft or thin wood, wood-based panels and light metal fittings

How to use

Select a screw length and diameter appropriate for the combined thickness of materials so the tip does not protrude through the finished surface. Use a compatible screwdriver or drill/driver with the correct bit for the screw head type. Apply steady, moderate speed when driving the screw; the self-drilling tip will cut into soft woods and thin panels. In harder or thicker materials, consider drilling a pilot hole or using a slower speed to avoid bit slip or screw damage. Ensure the screw is driven flush or slightly countersunk as required by the application to achieve a neat finish.

Usage recommendations

For outdoor or high-humidity environments, consider using screws with enhanced corrosion protection such as stainless or specially coated fasteners. When working with brittle wood-based panels, test on a scrap piece first to confirm the self-drilling tip does not cause splitting; if splitting occurs, pre-drill an appropriate pilot hole.
