Legion Metal Screws 4.2 x 35mm TW3835 – Phillips Head Pointed Metal Screws, 25 Pack

Legion 4.2 x 35mm Phillips Head Metal Screws, 25 Pack

Legion TW3835 Metal Screws are 4.2mm diameter, 35mm long Phillips head screws with a sharp point and coarse, self-tapping style thread, supplied in a pack of 25. They suit fixing thin sheet metal, timber, MDF and plastic in general repairs, brackets, fittings and DIY projects around the home, shed and garden.

A Handy All-Rounder Size

At 4.2mm across and 35mm long, these screws sit in the middle of the range, long enough to fix brackets, hinges, hooks and battens into timber, and suitable for joining thin sheet metal to timber or to light framing. The coarse thread forms its own path as it is driven, giving a firm grip in softwood, particleboard and plastics, while the sharp point helps it start cleanly.

Phillips Head for Easy Driving

The Phillips cross recess centres the screwdriver or drill bit, so the screw drives straight and is less likely to slip out of the head. Use a PH2 driver bit or screwdriver for a snug fit, which reduces cam-out and stripped heads, especially when driving with a cordless drill.

Where They Work Best

These screws are a good fit for indoor and sheltered jobs such as fixing brackets, shelving supports, cable clips, small hinges, trims and sheet metal patches in the shed or garage. For permanently exposed outdoor work, such as fences, decks and garden structures in the weather, choose galvanised or stainless steel screws, which handle moisture better over time.

Tips for Driving Metal Screws

For thin sheet metal, drill a small pilot hole slightly narrower than the screw's core first, as a pointed screw will skid on bare metal. In hardwood, a pilot hole also helps prevent splitting and makes driving easier. In softwood and particleboard, the sharp point usually starts on its own. Set your drill to a low speed and use the clutch to stop the screw once it is snug, as over-driving can strip the thread in thin metal or particleboard. Keep the driver bit pressed firmly and straight in the Phillips recess to avoid camming out.
