Tough Old Seasoned Wood and Screw Breakage (Uggg!)

Most everyone at one time or another has experienced trying to fasten into old, seasoned wood that has dried out over many years and become impenetrable to most threaded type fasteners. Being forced to pre-drill every hole with exactly the right diameter drill bit in order to attain maximum holding power required for your particular job requirements can be extremely frustrating ... especially if you don't have the proper size drill bit on hand (or, whether you might know what size/type it should be??) Is there anything more frustrating then breaking off a screw trying to get it all the way in and seated properly? When it does break ... what do you do with it? Vice Grips ...? Can you move over and do it again? Do you have this kind of time to fool with this issue when your trying to get a project done? What about the hole with a broken off screw in it? These are all issues that can be avoided if one has access to proper technology in a screw designed for these worse case scenario material types you are confronted with.

Do it once ... in one step ... with the desired finish appearance you need and want to see. Enter Fastap with self drilling Power Point technology that works every time in any wood ... regardless of age or toughness. With only the consideration of adjusting down the range of torque and rpm's applicable to doing woodworking, Fastap self drilling screws will perform easily every time by following simple installation tips inside every package. Also using Fastap driver bits that match the hardness of the screws will insure a smooth trouble free driving experience without stripping out the head. Once you get the feel of your particular material, driving each screw with ease will deliver desired results while eliminating fatigue, frustration, and extra trips to your hardware dealer.

These applications hold true for either interior or exterior woodworking ... as Fastap has a complete size line up for both types of usage, just the Duracoat XT coating distinguishes proper usage for all exterior wood applications.
