Tpt life Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hardened fasteners snap. Non-hardened flex before snapping. I have used so many tens of thousands in high stressed areas that were "construction grade" Hillman. Do I prefer others? Yes, but not because of snapping under load. The tapered head comment is dead on. A cabinet screw or pan head is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 The last ones I bought were "star drive" ones off Amazon. I don't even remember the brand name, but it wasn't anything I'd ever heard before. I prefer star drive for everything where its appearance doesn't matter. They worked fine.

treeslayer Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 i like the kreg screws, self tapping is a plus IMO and the larger head insures a tight draw up of the pieces. i bought a 1000 from McFeeleys and hate them for pocket holes, the head is not large like the kreg, lowes has the kreg, fine thread for hardwood and coarse for soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
