2-1/2 Pocket Screws [Posted on 2008-01-12]
There's not too much you can say about a screw but these did exactly what I expected. They are sharp and run great through pine and oak. I will continue to use these in the future. And as usual, Amazon did their great job of describing the product and delivering.

Great pockets screws. Work great in soft wood which I use a lot. Stick with the fine ones for hard wood.

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?

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.
