How This Fits Into a Typical Job

How to Use

1. Prepare the material: Select a clean area on timber or chosen surface. If using wall plugs, prepare the plug location first.
2. Drill a pilot hole (optional): For harder materials or precise placement, drill a 5mm pilot hole to guide the screw eye. Mark the position first with a marking pen before drilling.
3. Insert the screw eye: Manually twist the screw eye into the material until securely fastened. Use a tool if extra torque is required.
4. Secure your object: Attach cables, wires, or twine through the eyelet for immediate use. For quick temporary fastening, a Snap Clip Bungee Cord will work with the screw eye.
5. Check stability: Verify the screw eye is firmly in place before applying any load or tension.

Storage and Maintenance

• Keep unused screw eyes in a dry storage space to maintain corrosion resistance.
• Inspect periodically for signs of wear, especially if used outdoors or under heavy loads.
• Clean gently with a soft cloth if exposed to dirt or debris to preserve the finish.
