13 mm PZ2 screws
13 mm PZ2 screws
I've run out and can't find a source of PZ2 screws in brass with a round/pan head. Wessex are PZ1 which don't really go in very well - in so far as they don't grip the bit very well when you're starting them off and if they're going into hard wood they're a bit of a struggle. Can't think where my last lot came from.
Screwfix shortest are 5/8ths which can be a bit long, and they're not brass plated.
Anybody help?
Thanks

Thanks. In silver, but not in brass. So that is *some* progress but I've got 1000 2-screw fittings in brass to get through first...

I think 3.5 mm have a PZ2 head.
It pays to be picky with driver bits. I just got some DeWalt PZ1 bits and they are very good. Cheap ones last about a second.

I have an account at Stax so that's where I go for anything like this.

Re: 13 mm PZ2 screws
Have you got the correct description ?
Is PZ2 the size of the screwdriver tip, if so then I think what you may be looking for is Lion 5234 which is a number 6 thread, 3.5 mm diameter, 13 mm long and requires a PZ2 tip, and brass pan head of course
Hope this is of some use

Re: 13 mm PZ2 screws
Driver bits certainly do make a big difference. I bought some Erbauer PZ1 bits (Screwfix own-brand) at £2.50 for 3 and they are pants. But PZ1 heads are pretty pants anyway, too small for going into anything hard. And they're so fiddly, I can't put them in one-handed without using a gimlet first.
The Wiha Maxxtor (£18 for 10) from Screwfix in a PZ2 are superb. Really the best bits I've ever used. But they don't come in a PZ1.
Yes, I think I must have had them from Lion last time.

Re: 13 mm PZ2 screws
I lie. I wasn't that extravagant. They were the Wiha Diamant (Diamond) which were only £17 for 10 from Screwfix. Is it really that necessary to have so many different 'premium' screwdriver bits?Jamesnkr wrote:The Wiha Maxxtor (£18 for 10) from Screwfix in a PZ2 are superb. Really the best bits I've ever used.
Re: 13 mm PZ2 screws
Wiha Hot Torsion (where do they find these names, that sounds somewhat kinky) PZ1 bits from Screwfix get my vote. Really excellent. (100% of reviews give them one star, I don't agree.)
