- Head: Countersunk — sits flush with the material surface

Where it's used
Camera installers fixing timber backing boards, enclosures, cabinet housings or wooden mounting battens for CCTV kit will find the 40mm length suited to medium-depth timber fixings where a thicker, stronger screw is needed over shorter fixings. The countersunk head keeps mounting plates and backing boards flush, which matters when a camera bracket or DVR enclosure needs a clean seating surface.
The PZ2 drive is worth stocking alongside other head types on a van — it gives better driver engagement than a standard Phillips fitting when running screws into dense chipboard or engineered timber, reducing stripped heads on repeat fixings during a install day.
Keep alongside shorter Solo lengths for jobs mixing thin panel fixings with deeper timber mounts.
