Choosing the Right Makita Collated Screws
Selecting the correct screw type and size can make all the difference in your project's efficiency and finish:
1. Screw Length
Match the screw length to your material thickness. For drywall, 25-35mm is typical, while subflooring or decking may require longer screws.
