Hi,
Has anyone used collated screws and what were your opinions?
I see Tool station sell a budget silver line drill that uses them but they only seem to sell collated dry wall screws. Surely they are useful for so much more than just plasterboard?
I had a look at Screwfix and they sell many more types of collated screw but again most seem to be for drywalls. I wonder why this is? By which I mean, I wonder why they are not used for more applications; I can well imagine how useful they are for plasterboard. Is it something to do with plasterboard being nice and soft? Do the drills struggle with harder substrates?
I was thinking of using them for floor boarding. Screwfix have some decking screws but they all seemed quite long lengths intended for decking. Do shorter screws exist for floor boarding? Surely they must be a Godsend when you have a whole floor to do?
TIA
