Wood screw Koelner/Rawlplug TS-5035 5x35 mm, countersunk head, TX drive

Koelner/Rawlplug TS-5035 wood screw 5x35 mm features a countersunk (conical) head and a TX (Torx) drive, designed for fastening wooden elements where a flush finish is required. The screw’s geometry supports controlled penetration into soft and hard wood, providing steady thread engagement and reduced splitting risk when predrilling or using appropriate pilot holes. The Torx drive ensures positive bit engagement and lower cam-out compared with slotted or Phillips drives.

Advantages

The countersunk head allows the screw to sit flush with or below the wood surface for a neat finish and easy sanding or covering. The TX drive delivers improved torque transfer and stable installation with compatible Torx bits. The thread profile and 5 x 35 mm dimensions make this fastener suitable for common carpentry and furniture assembly tasks, balancing holding power with ease of insertion. The design reduces surface deformation and helps achieve consistent results in joinery and general construction work.

Suitable for

• Fastening wooden boards, panels and battens
• Furniture assembly and fittings installation
• Joinery, cabinetry and carpentry repairs
• Interior construction tasks where a flush finish is required

Key specifications

• Material: suitable for use in soft and hard wood (material dependent)
• Head type: countersunk (conical) head for flush installation
• Drive type: TX (Torx) for improved bit engagement
• Overall dimensions: 5 mm diameter × 35 mm length
• Thread: wood screw thread profile designed for timber fastening

How to use

Select a matching Torx bit for stable drive engagement and, where applicable, predrill a pilot hole appropriate to the wood type and screw diameter to reduce splitting. Insert the screw with a manual driver or a torque-controlled power tool, applying steady pressure and moderate speed. Drive the screw until the head is flush with or slightly below the wood surface; avoid over-torquing to prevent head damage or material compression. For exposed finishes, countersink depth can be adjusted to allow filling or covering.

Usage recommendations

Use a pilot hole in hardwoods and near board edges to minimise splitting. Match the Torx bit size to the screw drive and set tool torque to avoid overdriving. For outdoor or high-humidity applications, consider using screws with appropriate corrosion-resistant coatings or materials suitable for exposure.
