Beaverscrews HPWS Tub

These screws have some really great features not found on other screws. I've used them to fit floor boards back down and they don't break the heads off or split the boards. They are a great screw for finishes too as they countersink very nicely into many types of wood.

As a kitchen installer most of my time is spent screwing into MFC, I normally use Reisser cutters to save on drilling pilot holes. The beaver wood bit into the laminate just as well as the Reissers, the beaver woods countersunk flush better and cleaner than the Reissers. Think you might have a convert

Got sent a box to try and give my verdict and its fair to say they have certainly changed my opinion on screws I was always under the impression that a screw was a screw but these are different they have a great ability to key into the wood straight away giving you much more control when working at heights or angles where you cant use both hands would highly recommend

Been using Beaver 4x40mm screws now for a week and I tried them in a few different scenarios, treated joists, mdf and chipboard. They have a sharp point which makes the easy to start and the 6 ridges under the head help them to self countersink which saves swapping bits or having a 2nd drill. When screwed into cabinet they produce less of a dimple to the material than conventional screw or drywall screw when driven below the surface without pre-drilling and being driven by impact driver. It would be interesting to see how the other available sizes perform on my day to day tasks.

I have only been using these screws for a short time. But, found them educational! In as much as I had never thought screws could be so different. After all a screw is a screw, right? Well beaverscrews certainly turned that on its head. They are strong, they key or bite into the wood easily and they go in so easily. The wax coating can’t really be seen but would think this is what makes it go in with ease. The countersinking is achieved without effort thanks to the design and they cut in completely flush. Another important aspect I discovered is, when securing floor boards, they don’t split the wood as some others I used do. So overall, I’d have to recommend you try these, because they will sell themselves when you do.

I’ve been using these screws for the last week had a lot of floorboards to refix down after pipework installation I must say was Impressed by the strength compared with my usual screws didn’t have any breakages Which can be a pain when the heads shear off didn’t take need to drill a pilot hole which saves time would use again the only thing I’d say that the box they came in wasn’t very strong but I transferred to my metal screw box good screws

I’ve been using these beaver screws (4mm x 40mm) 11/2”x 8’s over the last week or so mainly to screw plywood back to CLS stud work, got to say first impression are these are very good quality screws no need to pilot hole the ply first and pull into the sheet nice and flush.

I tried to give them a real test to see if they would snap non did!! I certainly will be ordering more and replacing the usual Reisser screws with beaver screws

Really impressed with these screws. Wind in quickly with no rounding and no snapping under high torque. Pre sink themselves without splintering around hole. Will definitely keep using.

I've used alot of screws and generally you just grab what ever you see on the shelf or what your local whole saler supplies.

I would happily go out my way to buy these screws, they have super sharp tips which means even in the most awkward angles it will bite straight away. I havent actually had one strip yet which is very surprising.

I would 100% recommend these screws to anyone wanting something reliable, affordable and easy to store.

I’ve been using these for months now, I use to use gold screws from screwfix. They rounded easily and also took a while to bite into wood.

The beaver screws bite straight in which is very useful when working over your head.

I wouldn’t go back and considering the price it’s a no brainier.

Something as basic as decent screws can really save you time.

Great product.

Beaverscrews review Love these screws , they bite so much easier and have no issues with them countersinking, I would recommend the screws to anyone

Got sent some 40mm screws and can’t say anything but good stuff about them, normally use goldscrews but these are far superior, great bite and grabbing power and no splitting near ends of boards, will certainly be using them again!

Was sent these to try 4x40mm normally use reiser but on use I would say these were better. Tried them on osb easy to drive with no cam out on screwdriver bit, countersunk really well. Also tried on some cls timber some slight edge break out when too close to edge but so do the competition. I would definitely buy in the future.

I was sent a tub of 4x40mm to test and they really are some of the best screws I have used. Consistant quality and the self countersinking ribs under the head help give a cleaner finish. I was using them to line a shed with 11mm OSB and within 1 full turn the screw had gripped and was on its way in. At tye top of the shank there are small ribs to help prevent jacking between 2 pieces of timber.

IMO just as good as the Reisser Cutters I normally use.

We are always looking for things that save time and effort. These screws are excellent for screwing ply to timber, l’ve been using the 45mm screws to fix 18mm ply to CLS, they are very good, no pilot hole needed and they self countersink well. If all the screws l’ve used none have stripped the head.
Great time saver. They cost more than regular screws but the time they save easily pays for them

These screws are excellent, the build quality is as good as the top named brands if not better, the point is sharp which gives a good start when driving into hard wood, the cut from the threads means no more pre drilling. The thread is full length which gives a great pull when joining and the nibs under the head work effectively for countersinking the head. I'd say you pay for what you get and these screws are well priced for their effectiveness.

Having used many screws over the years I’ve just tried these new screws and have too say they are amazing to use and drive into the wood with ease no head rounding out and fast driving in speed I would definitely recommend these screws to anyone who’s looking at refilling these screw box

Received a tub of these to test and first impressions are really positive. They seem to ‘eat’ through wood probably down to the wax coating and little edge that’s cut in to each screw. Also countersink very nicely and even come in a plastic tub which should be a little more durable than your usual box. They seem fairly priced so I’ll be looking to make these my go to screw moving forward. Overall very impressed.

What can I say? I hadn’t heard of Beaverscrews until a couple of weeks back and wasn’t really expecting much (a screw’s a screw at the end of the day), but I tell you what, these are seriously impressive. They went into the wood really well with no splits, stayed in the drill bit no issue at all and genuinely saved me a bit of time compared to my normal screws. I’m gonna order some more and keep using these from now on - same price point as well which is a plus. Only negative, as some other’s have mentioned is the plastic box… feels like it could break a bit too easy. Would prefer a more heavy duty case than the one that’s given.

Other than that, spot on. 100% recommend

What can you say about these screws? They come in a sturdy box with a good lid that doesn’t fall off. The head of the screws are consistent so you always get a positive drive from your impact driver or screwdriver. They go in easy and countersink well every time. I haven’t had any that have split my workpiece.
I would buy these again in a heartbeat.
Damned good screws.
To follow the tag line of the company they really do “Eat through wood”

Great wood screws that countersink better than most and don’t get caught on screw head. Great quality and pretty much the same price as any other screw. I’d go with these every time. What more can you ask for?

These screw are the best screws I’ve used , very high quality , not once they fell off my drill bit. Going into wood they bite really fast making life very easy

Just used these to build a frame for a dry wall. Made it so much quicker and easier than having to pre drill. They caused no splits and held the vertical lengths of cls with only one screw. No ripping out from falling over whilst we checked things we where we wanted. Highly recommend these. Time saver, very good quality and strong , drilled straight through a knot with no issues or struggling. Will be my go to screw of choice now

These are top quality screws lovely on the way in and the addition of the beaver bit at the top is excellent. I found the lock on these screws really good as it turns out I think I prefer these to the gold screws I usually use.

Best wood screws I've ever used, simply will not be trying any others. They bite in to wood faster and stronger. The build quality of them are top notch and seem really strong. The heads didn't round of once. Highly recommend these, only thing I may change is the box as it isn't the best plastic and could brake if dropped.

Really impressed with Beaverscrews, never heard of them until recently and I’m glad I did.

We used them for the first time today onsite putting floorboards down after installing radiators.
Compared to your standard wood screws that generally split most floorboards when screwing in close the edge of the board. You would have to go through the gruesome task of pre drilling every hole first.

With BeaverScrews they speed up the process,
Pros
No need for a pilot hole as they glide through wood effortlessly without splitting,

Countersunk Phillips head with a threaded nib just below the head to allow them to countersink.

Sharp point with a small flat edge to one side which allows it to drill through as your driving the screw in making it effortless.

Negative,
The plastic box is flimsy and also split, (my own fault) but I don’t get screws for the boxes as have more heavy duty storage for them. Just looking for a negative
Overall fantastic screws and will be buying more in the future.

Also gave some to my neighbour and they said it’s the best screw they have ever had. (Great advert) if you haven’t watched it you definitely should

I’ve been trying these screws out over the last few days and all I can say is that I am impressed with the look, feel and ease of use. Being an electrical contractor we go through a lot of screws and inch and a half 8s being our most used variety. On receiving the tub of what I thought were just normal screws I thought I would use them to build some racking for the back of the van as a test project. I proceeded to get my pilot drill out as usual to pre drill the holes in the soft wood. Upon opening the distinctive looking yellow lidded tub I noticed that these screws have a sharp point and a groove up them to enable them to be self drilling. I nervously proceeded to put a Beaverscrew in without pre drilling a pilot hole and it flew right in without splitting the wood. I built the racking in no time at all. I’m impressed that the screws come in a tough plastic tub as so many screws just come in cardboard boxes that disintegrate if they get wet which happens a lot on site. The branding is distinctive and it looks like a tough trade product. The screw heads seem to be strong and take the rigorous abuse from the toque gun although it was on its lowest setting as the screws flew in with ease. There is little ridges under the heads of the screws which provide friction to stop them working out as they grip the wood surface once they are driven in. I have also used some of these to fix gaps that have appeared in my MDF stair case at home and again I didn’t pre drill them and they went straight into the MDF and pulled the joints tight which was amazing. I will certainly be using these when it come to fixing floorboards and chipboard flooring back down once it has been cut up to gain access to carry out electrical work. The only downside is the sizing that is used. Being in the trade for many years from an apprentice, screws have always been asked for in imperial sizes so I’m use to asking for 1inch and a half 8s rather than the metric millimetre sizes. Although I can not complain really as there was a printed sticker on top of the tub saying equivalent to 1inch and a half 8s. It’a more to do with ordering them online. Not a major downer I suppose it’s just what I am use to.
Overall a brilliant screw especially with the wax coating which aids with not splitting the timber.

This is the first time I have been aware and tried the Beaver brand of screw. On opening the package the box was found to be cracked obviously rough handling from the courier.

The head of the screw is deep and grips the pozi bit well. The screw starts easily due to the sharp tip in soft wood and drives in quickly. The counter sink head prevents the wood from splitting.

I would recommend these screws if you are looking for a Premium product

Carpenter here-firstly, the tub is a good solid tub but the lid is somewhat stiff and difficult to get off.
That being said the screw itself is very good. It comes into its own with the riffled shank and countersink head, you can screw as close to the edge as you dare and there was no splitting wood etc. With a good drill you can sink them as deep as you need to no problem at all.
All the top brand performing screws are dearer and so are these but all in all very good.

I tried these screws today, fitting 5m lengths of cladding over a garage door. There is no level ground for my stepladder which made the job harder but these screws helped. I found that the driver bit really held the screws meaning my other hand was free to hold on to whatever was available. There was no need to drill pilot holes the screws bit straight into the wood .The fluting at the end definitely seems to stop the cladding “jacking off” from the frame and in fact the two pieces pulled snuggly together not something that has happened with other screws I have used. The ribs on the head worked perfectly at countersinking the screw with no splitting at all.
All in all the quality off the screws made an awkward job a lot easier, if I have any complaints it was the plastic box. I have a tendency to pick things up by the top/lid, this meant that I did spend 5 minutes picking the contents off the floor ,I know there is a handle but if I used that then I’d have nothing to moan about.
I will be buying more of these.

There screws do exactly what it says on the tub. They go in to the wood really easy. They arrived in a tub which is a good thing a overcarboard box as in the back of a van or the shed they get knocked all over the place. They a have a very good solid head dont split or crack the wood. They really easy to drive in especially which the impact driver. So its a tick for me for these and defiantly will use again.

Used these Beaverscrews on a project at home to test them out, where I raised my garage floor using 4” x 2” Tried these Beaverscrews out this week, when fitting some new 22mm Caberfloor P5 waterproof chipboard flooring on my garage/workshop floor when I raised/insulated it with 3” x 2” off of the original concrete floor.

They arrived in a tub which is always a good start, when it comes to storing/transporting from job to job, over cardboard boxes that tend to fall to bits leaving screws everywhere.

The size I used was M4 x 40mm which equates to 8 x 1 1/2
and I have to say they were super easy to use.
My first impressions when using were that they had a good strong head which I can honestly say never stripped once, when screwing into the chipboard flooring with my impact drill. I’d also add the wax coating on them definitely helps with the speed/ease of screwing in.

My personal best bit about them is that they have a nifty little feature of 6 nibs on the underside of the head and I must say that definitely helps self countersink the head into the timber effortlessly to leave a clean smooth flush finish.

To summarise, I can honestly recommend these screws to both DIY’ers & trades alike.

Fantastic product! In the plumbing and heating industry so these are massively handy for when I’ve had the boards up and can just screw them all back down without piloting them first.

Also makes building frames and studs for boilers to hang on that much quicker saving time on the whole install.

Beaverscrews do exactly what it says on the tub. They start really easily and enter wood with ease, probably due to the sharp point and wax coating. They grab wood well and provide solid fixing. The best feature is the nibs under the head and reaming section which means there’s no need to countersink. Overall, excellent screws available at a decent price.

Very nice screws to use, seem to fly into most wood. One of the best self drilling wood screws on the market, very similar to anothet popular screw brand however alot cheaper than those other wood screws. I've only used a few of the screws so can't say that they are all manufactured to the same quality but from initial thoughts they are nice wood screws perfect for most trades not just carpenter's.

We (yes I let the other lads in the joiners shop use these little beauties as well), used these screws making some flattage for an upcoming drama for Sky Tv.

As we make a lot of flats, testing these against some of the other brands like Reisser was interesting to us.

We found as a collective (5 of us), that the screws hold well in a position drive bit. Some have slight give/movement in them, but these hold firm which is great for when we are stretching over the flat.

The self cutting head helps save time as we are constantly countersinking screws rather than just driving them in.

We found no need to use an impact driver with the beaverscrews. A normal drill/driver takes them in just as well and gives your wrist a break from the impact driver lol.

Overall we found them a great screw. Depending on quantity we would be intrigued as to what price we could purchase various packs of these screws at different sizes.

If they were the right price we would consider switching permanently I’m sure.

Excellent fixings!!!!

This is a review for beaverscrews

The first look at these screws you notice straight away these are a good quality product the coating is a bright and consistent golden colour with a wax feel probably to aid with application and to prevent corrosion, the cut and sharpness is of a good quality and the pozi bit seems to be deep cut which allows for a real snug fit with less chance of rounding off, even at a slight angle. The screw however looked slightly on the skinny side compared to other screws on the market but on the package says they are ce approved for load bearing construction which I'm yet to test.

So looking closer at the screws your drawn to a sharp point with a cut sharpened slot up the length of shaft for the first 4/5 threads which i assume cuts down on the need for pre drilling and splintering of the wood and cuts a nice clean hole for the rest of the screw to pull its self effortlessly down into the timber, out of all the screws I put in not one needed assistance to stop it running away or felt unstable like some screws and went in first time everytime.

Another key feature you will notice straight away is the counter rotating thread on the neck of the screw and the little nibs on the head, which has been designed with countersinking in mind. it does a fairly decent job without much chipping altho this won't appeal much to chippies who already have drill bits with countersunk bits for a perfectly clean finish but the rest of us mere mortals does a adequate job on most materials.

Overall a good quality product and will be able to give a further indepth review once using the products for a little while.

Would I recommend them? definitely

Are they good value? You get what you pay for!

How do they stand in the market with so many other brands etc? These are up there with the big boys altho time will tell of the longevity of the products

I would give them a score of 9/10 until further testing can be carried out

Been using the screws for the last few days and really impressed. Have been building timber boxing in bathroom with 2x1 and 2x2 the screws have not split any of the softwood.

There very sharp and start off into wood very easily. Not tried there larger screws but if anything like these then they will be spot on.

have not found any metal swarf that can give you metal splinters when driving screws.

Competitively priced screws definitely will be using again.

Good little screw, I tried out the 4 x 40 tub, wax coated, they went in with ease and didn't split the face of the wood at all. Head sunk itself in nice and neat. Effortless fixing.

Strong head didn't round off.

Box needs a bit of work as it didn't withstand the delivery driver but that could be more about them than the screw packaging!

Absolutely brilliant screws, I thought here we go another useless standard screw that does not live up to the hype! How wrong I was.

I tried the 4 x 40 mm and these screws fly into any type of wood, easy to use with a really sharp end which makes starting off a piece of cake.

When used with a decent pozi bit the head shows no sign of wear, I did try to round the pozi head off which took some doing and that’s when purposely done.

I would like to see different head types like torx, and a bit or two included in the box. These are premium screws the quality is great and the fact they are waxed makes life easier these are up there with the big boys and I would recommend to anyone.

All in all these screws are a brilliant bit of kit, these will be my go to screw from now on.

I used the beaver screws 50mm on a roof job yesterday . What I was really impressed with is that they didn’t split the timber it was a nice solid fix . If I was to compare the beaver screws to a few other make of screws on the market I would be quite confident in saying they would be a good top contender.
I would like to try some of the larger sizes of the screws may be 3 inch and 4 inch to again compare to others and see how they fix thicker gauge wood for example 3x2 and 4x2 stud work .
I would like to say by my first impression of using beaver screws I was very impressed and can’t wait to try other sizes . Thumbs up from me .
well done to the tool talk team and thank you for allowing me to trial the beaver screws
From Paul ( PAS Plastering Services)

I didn’t think I could be overly impressed by a simple screw however I was wrong with the beaver screws,

The mains plus points for me was the point was very sharp meaning the screw didn’t slip once placed on the wood. Also I couldn’t believe how easy and fast they went in to a few different types of wood, my impact driver doesn’t even impact it’s that easy and smooth.

I haven’t had chance to test on hard woods but I would expect it to have no problem.

Screw head seems strong, no stripping or slipping and definitely no snapping. Holds well even With my over worn screwdriver bit (I’m a tight Yorkshire man)

I have no problem spending a bit more on screws if they are going to speed up my day so I would say the additional cost over cheaper screws is worth it.

By far the best screws I have ever used

If I had to pick a negative point it would be that I knocked the box over in the front of van and the lid came of quite easy and had a full box of screws all over the van floor other than that they are great

Had these screws as part of tool talk testers club. Really great product, super sharp tips to start off nicely. They drive into the wood really easy. And the countersunk part is better than other screws I've used to help them go in nice and flush without ruining the wood.

Got these “waxed beavers” to try out and review, so here goes
There are an unbelievable amount of screws out there
And it can be a minefield when it comes to quality, I generally stick to what I know usually spax or riesser
As you know what your getting. .
Beaver screws are in my opinion a premium grade fixing they glide into timber with ease and accuracy.. I put this down to the manufacturing quality and the addition of waxed thread . The head of the screw stands up well to the impact bit and I did not experience slippage .
I tried out the 4x40s but have no reason to think the quality would diminish in the bigger sized screws ,
The only thing that I could see as an improvement would a free screw bit with the screws .... everyone loves a free screw bit
All in all a great screw up there with the established screws , however a waxed beaver is now my 1st choice for screwing

I've only used the beaver screws on pressure treated timber while making garden furniture, they really do drive easier than almost any other screw I've used, the synthetic wax coating does its job really well. And the countersink threads really grip and pull the screw head in.. Super impressed and will definitely buy again.
