Biltema and Quality

[pellefant]

essve cutters 6x120 were MUCH easier to drive in than biltema 6x80, probably because the surface of the screw is textured.

Generally, I think Biltema's screws etc. are completely acceptable considering the price, and they're of better quality than Byggmax anyway....

I have mostly used Byggmax screws, and I'm actually completely satisfied.
The brand they have there - Arvid Nilsson - or however it was, I think are really nice screws.
Especially the slightly longer ones, torx25.
Most recently, I bought a bunch of "universal" screws 5x75, torx20 150pcs for 54.90.
Also good screws, screwed a mold with them most recently...

There's a lot of junk there, but I'm actually satisfied with the screws.

Byggmax screws work too but I have had many bad screws with poor fit to the bits (despite the correct bits) burrs, non-existent slots, etc....

But maybe I got a Monday example ....

Check out Silvan. I was at Biltema and wanted those screws, but the shelf was empty. I thought it was only temporary, though. I went to Silvan and found the same Torx 20 screws at the same price. 250 pieces for 40:-. Totally OK.

Hi -
I just bought both Ankarspik (19-158) and Ankarskruv (87-121) at Biltem.
Which ones are you referring to that have been discontinued?

Hi -
I have just driven in 500 Deck screws from Biltema. 87-727, not a single one caused any trouble. Their new Deck screw with milling thread on the non-threaded part also means it stays in place and doesn't creep up!

Biltema's anchor screw is not much to have, unfortunately, I bought such ones, and if you don't hit the exact middle of the hole on the nail plate or screw it in at a slight angle, it breaks very easily just below the head. bosse Larsson - there is a bit of a difference between decking screws and screws with a 6mm diameter in terms of how much force is needed to drive them in! A little off topic - I bought Biltema's Autosol copy, rubbed it on the aluminum rims - almost nothing happened, took the "real" Autosol and got the shine up immediately! But as they say, you get what you pay for - most of the time anyway.
