Hidden Tool Storage, In a Flash!

By contributing partner and guest blogger, Isabelle LaRue

I use many different materials in my DIY projects, sometimes combining wood and metal, so I need a versatile fastener that can work with both. This is why I love SPAX Multi-Material Construction Screws!

SPAX offers all the different sizes and head styles I need to make small projects like this over-the-door tool organizer I built for my closet.

I had the 1”x2” boards cut at the hardware store and used #8 x 1-1/4" multi-material screws to put the wood frame together. The fact that I didn’t have to pre-drill the wood with these fasteners is a huge time saver for this step.

For the aluminum sheet hooks, I made a divot with a nail and hammer to prevent the point from slipping. 

Then I used #8 x 1-1/4" multi-material screws to attach them to the wood frame. The special thread serrations and 4CUT point on the SPAX screws ensure that they go in very smoothly without needing as much torque as other fasteners. 

This means you end up being able to do a lot more on one battery charge. Another reason to love these German-engineered, American-made SPAX Construction screws!
