SKU: 6220-DMS50
Powerpac's Duplex Multi-Use Screw is a reusable, self-tapping formwork fastener built for the demands of concrete construction. With a bright orange hex head that fits straight into any standard 1/4" impact driver, there's no need for drill bits, pilot holes, or special tooling Ñ just load and drive.
Each screw is good for 20+ uses, making it a direct replacement for duplex nails and single-use screws in formwork, temporary bracing, and boxing. The Type 17 self-tapping point bites cleanly into timber without splitting, and the dual-head design means fast, clean removal when it's time to strip. You get cleaner timber, fewer wasted fasteners, and quicker turnaround between pours.
The high-visibility orange head stands out on site Ñ even under concrete splatter Ñ so nothing gets left behind when you're pulling forms. And unlike nails, the threaded shank grips hard. That means tighter formwork under pressure, fewer blowouts, and less rework.
Whether you're pouring residential foundations, commercial slabs, or retaining walls, the Duplex Multi-Use Screw is already a go-to for formwork crews and builders across New Zealand. It's just as useful for site hoarding, temporary fencing, stage builds, and event platforms Ñ anywhere you need to put something up, pull it apart, and do it all again.

About Duplex Multi-Use Screw
Each screw is rated for 20+ uses. In practice, many users report getting significantly more cycles when driving into softwood framing timber.
Unlike duplex nails, this screw threads into the timber for a much stronger hold during pours, then removes cleanly without splitting or damaging the wood. The screw threads provide superior pullout resistance compared to a nail's friction-only grip.
The Type 17 self-tapping point is designed primarily for softwood and engineered timber commonly used in formwork. For hardwood applications, we recommend pre-drilling a pilot hole.
Concrete may splash onto the head during pours, but the bright orange colour ensures the screw remains visible for easy location and removal. The hex head profile allows your driver to seat firmly even with minor concrete residue.
The Duplex Multi-Use Screw is available in multiple lengths to suit different formwork thicknesses. Check the product specifications or contact us for the full size range.
A single duplex screw replaces 20+ nails over its lifespan. Factor in the time saved on faster strip times and zero drill bit costs, and the per-use cost is a fraction of traditional fasteners.
