ou don’t have to look far for reasons why the Hapax wood screw is so popular with professionals. They owe their favourable status with top craftsmen and women to their low screw‐in torque combined with a high screw‐in speed. Work‐ ing with Hapax wood screws saves time, says pgb‐Europe, the company behind these quality and patented wood screws. The design is based on years of experience and the screws are produced and packaged under strict quality requirements.
In addition, the environmentally friendly BlueTop coating provides an extra corrosion resistance which is up to 10 times higher than conventional galvanisation. And that’s all without mentioning that these screws have successfully obtained a European Technical Assessment (ETA). Hapax wood screws are produced with strict quality controls in pgb‐Europe’s own production facility, PHC Fasten‐ ers, in Vietnam. By choosing to invest in its own production
Hapax’s patented “triple thread point” is backed by the unique geometry of the countersunk milling segment under the head of the screw.
