Chipboard Screw — Countersunk with Nibs | 4.2 x 45mm | Pack of 1000
A high-thread-count chipboard screw engineered for clean, reliable fastening in cabinet carcass construction without pre-drilling.
Manufactured from zinc-coated steel, this countersunk chipboard screw features lateral nibs beneath the head that seat flush against the substrate and resist pull-through under load. The 4.2mm shank diameter and 45mm nominal length make it the standard choice for 16–18mm board-to-board connections in flat-pack and site-built cabinetry. The self-tapping thread cuts cleanly into chipboard and MDF without splitting, reducing installation time on high-volume fitouts.

Best For
Flat-pack and custom cabinet assembly where speed and holding strength matter — particularly carcass-to-carcass, back panel, and hinge plate fixings in chipboard and MDF substrates. The nib profile prevents the head from spinning on contact, making it well-suited to high-volume kitchen and laundry fitouts where consistent countersink depth is critical.
