http://www.screwfix.com/prods/85041...ws/TurboGold-Packs/TurboGold-Screw-Trade-Case

such a good offer i orderd 2 lol except the case when it arrives is correct its marked up as turbo gold its the only plastic case they do but heres the point----


it contains 250 less screws it contains more smaller screws and fewer bigger screws so the total value off the pack is now £15-70p ish so £5 or 25% reduction in value

if the small sizes in the link are all 200s then they have altered the link
if the link shows 150s then its the incorrect contents shown

For the price, not that much better.

What ya gonna do with all them tiny screws anyway, make a dolls house village?

thats the point realy it goes from being good value for topping up your trade case to ok value as you will finnish up with lots off unwanted screws

incidently when i butt join 12mm mdf at corners i tend to use no6 x1.5 or 2" with a 3mm pilot
so the 400 [2 boxes] 3.5x 40 will be great maybe even withought a pilot well i hope so as o already have approching 180 anyway so 580 need a use lol

as for the other small metric 4s i use loads as a bench joiner

I find with screws (also with drills) it can be useful to buy a value pack of assorted sizes, but then I buy more of the ones I use a lot of (or, in the case of drills, break (small sizes) or wear out)

i dont call £3 for 200 small screws or £10 for 100 4" screws cheap

Was tempted to get this pack but checked the contents and the smaller screws will serve little use for me. I do like the turbogold screws they are very much like the Reisser R2 cutters which are excellent but at a premium. Never used spax but I suspect they have a very similar design to the Reisser and Turbogolds...

I'm really liking the new Fisher screws that they are doing in screwfix at the moment.
