Overview

The TIMCO Solo mixed tray is the woodscrew assortment that keeps vans and workshops stocked with the sizes used most often. Rather than buying individual boxes of each size, the mixed tray provides a practical selection of the most popular lengths and gauges in one compartmentalised tray, ready to grab when needed.

In-Depth Look

Every carpenter, joiner, and general builder gets through woodscrews at a rate that makes individual box purchases inconvenient. The TIMCO Solo mixed tray solves this by providing 1,200 of the most commonly used sizes in a single organised format.

Solo Range Design

The TIMCO Solo range is designed to drive into softwood and most hardwoods without pre-drilling in normal conditions. The sharp point initiates without slipping, the coarse thread maximises pull-through resistance, and the geometry is optimised to reduce the splitting that plagues cheaper woodscrews in hardwood close to edges. The countersunk Pozi head is the most versatile head form for general building joinery — compatible with No.2 Pozi bits across all sizes in the tray.

For Hardwood and Difficult Applications

In dense hardwoods, thin timber close to edges, or when driving near the end grain, a pilot hole remains advisable even with the Solo range. A 2.5-3mm pilot slightly shorter than the screw length eliminates splitting risk and ensures the screw pulls the joint tight rather than lifting the upper piece.

Mixed Tray Format

The compartmentalised tray separates each size into its own section, making it easy to grab the right size without rummaging through a mixed bag. Sizes run from 3.5mm diameter up to 5.0mm in the most commonly used lengths, covering fixing timber battens, architrave, skirting board, floorboards, carcass joinery, and general building carpentry.

Yellow Zinc Finish and Limitations

The yellow zinc plating provides mild corrosion resistance suitable for internal use and sheltered conditions. It is not appropriate for external use, direct ground contact, or treated timber where a green corrosive treatment is applied. For external and treated timber applications, stainless steel or A2 stainless is the correct specification.

Verdict

The TIMCO Solo mixed tray is the practical woodscrew purchase for anyone who uses screws regularly. The 1,200-piece count, organised tray format, and no-pre-drill performance in softwood make it a van essential for carpenters and general builders.
