Whats the difference between Varianta, Spax, Confirmat, Zip-R, and Hospa screws?
Varianta screws (also known as Euro screws) were made for use in “system holes”, or simply 3mm or 5mm holes used for holding hardware such as hinges and slides. Because they are always used in a predrilled hole, they are blunt, with parallel sides, and are very strong. Varianta screws are available in pan head, washer head, flat head, and several special heads. They are offered in Pozidrive/Phillips and Robertson style (square) and were designed for use in particleboard, where they give excellent results. For a complete selection of Varianta screws see our catalog. Spax® screws contain a number of innovative features that put them ahead of the wood screw pack. Let’s start with the head and work our way to the point. The head has a special recess called “Unidrive”, which allows it to driven with a Phillips, a Robertson (square) or a Pozidrive screwdriver or bit. Where the head meets the threaded shaft (the neck) there is a secondary bevel that strengthens this otherwise vulnerable area
