Dual Thread Design: Hi-low thread screws feature alternating sections of high and low threads along their shaft. The high threads have a sharper pitch and deeper profile, while the low threads have a shallower profile and wider pitch.
High Thread: The high threads on hi-low thread screws are designed to cut into the material more aggressively, providing fast insertion and excellent grip. These threads are typically located at the screw's tip and are responsible for creating the initial thread in the material.
Low Thread: The low threads on hi-low thread screws have a wider pitch and shallower profile, which helps to pull the material tightly against the screw head. These threads are often located closer to the screw head and are responsible for drawing the material together as the screw is driven in.
Materials: Hi-low thread screws are commonly made from hardened steel, stainless steel, or other materials with high strength and corrosion resistance. They may also be coated or plated with zinc, nickel, or other finishes to enhance durability and prevent corrosion.
Applications: Hi-low thread screws are used in a variety of applications where fastening to wood, plastic, or composite materials is required. They are commonly used in furniture assembly, cabinetry, decking, and general woodworking projects where a strong and secure connection is essential.
Size: Hi-low thread screws come in various lengths and diameters to accommodate different material thicknesses and installation requirements. The most common lengths for hi-low thread screws range from 1/4 inch to 3 inches, with shorter lengths used for thinner materials and longer lengths for thicker materials.
