Orbix screws

[cadspark]

Does anyone know where I can get the full range of orbix screws from?. I can find the self drill metal type but I'm looking for the wood screws as well. I contacted Orbix and they told me CEF and Edmundsons stock them but my nearest branches don't. If there is somewhere online as the last place I bought them was in Derby which is over 4 hours from me!

I get mine from eddys or a local independent.

Dunno about online.

WF also do them.

I tried on-line also, found a site ordered them only to find they were a copy of the orbix and rubbish.

Tell CEF / Eddies to get some in for you from the branches that do have them M8.

Electric centre do them too

Thanks I'll give Electric Centre a call next time I'm over Shrewsbury way.

What about Eyre and Elliston they did a promotion on them a few years back not sure if you have some branches around your way.

Are they any good though, I have thought about them, but not decided yet.

 

[steptoe]

in the right circumstances they are excellent,

yes, Id deffo recommend them, why not get a selection box and give them a try.?

I've got the selection box and the main use is self tapping Into steel 3mm thick to fix metalclad sockets to shelving etc. they are really good especially when used with my impact driver lol (batty loves impact drivers )

 

[Sidewinder]

OK suppliers for the selection box, no local wholesalers round here have them except CEF and then in individual sizes only.

 

[kerching]

Yep, def worth it.

Start small, get the selection box [i did], find out which ones are less useful. Personally I don't like the 'wood' ones. coz they work out too expensive I am too tight to use them unless in exceptional circumstances.

The steel drilling ones are [in my humble and bigotted opinion] the dogs back wheels.

I keep 2 sizes in stock, great for whazzing boxes/trunking/owt thin to girders/steel purlins. When used with the impact driver 'the world is you lobster Rodders'........... :coat

Matty & Batty may have to fall out.

I have self drillers already on the van in about a dozen sizes.

What will these Orbix give me and where can i get a selection box anyone please?

Once again my web searches have failed me.

I have found individual sizes, but not the selections anywhere. :_|

 

[steptoe]

sidey if you want one I can get you one on Monday and stick it in the post.

I just got mine from local wholesaler,

Ive used self drillers in the past but these have a good large pan head, or whatever.
