Best Pocket Screws [Posted on 2008-01-22]
Great pockets screws. Work great in soft wood which I use a lot. Stick with the fine ones for hard wood.

Cool little screws [Posted on 2008-03-14]
I got these screws because I anticipate using them for some pocket hole joinery in some pine I have. But I've been using them left and right since they arrived, so I'm sure glad I got the 1000 pack.

I have historically used the "wood screws" sold at home centers, etc, which generally have a Phillips head and a fairly thick shank. The problem is you have to drill the right sized pilot hole or the head strips fairly easily when the going gets tough.

These "pocket hole" screws seem to have a much thinner shank and deeper threads (at least on the coarse ones) so they screw in much easier. Plus the square (Robertson?) drive is much better that Phillips for holding on and not stripping.

I suppose they are weaker in some dimension than the wood screws, but how much strength do you need?

Best square drive screws available [Posted on 2008-06-07]
I have YET to break a KREG screw off doing something. They just work. What more can a person want in woodworking? I wouldn't use anyone else's screw for pocket hole joinery.

Best to buy in bulk if you find yourself using one particular size. The more you buy of them the more you save. It's a nice way to join wood and hide the joinery as well.

Great screws to use in woodworking projects. The Kreg system makes quick work of project asemble.

The RIGHT screw makes a BIG difference [Posted on 2008-12-18]
Great screw for soft wood and sheet materials. I've had problems with wood splitting in the past whenever I didn't remember to pre-drill holes. This is the first time I've been able to simply drive screws without pre-drilling. Great time-saver.
