ProMaster™ Saw Tooth Screws - Finally, Screws that Actually CUT their Own Pilot Hole! Take a look at the most revolutionary thing to happen to screw threads in a very long time! You don’t need to look too closely to see that threads near the tip have saw toothed scallops in them. These scallops help the thread actually cut its way into the wood, and help prevent splitting. In fact, recent testing of various lengths driven into a maple block revealed no splitting, unlike both the standard point and Auger Point screws driven into the same block. Even better, manufacturer’s tests show that holding power is increased as well! Should you still drill a pilot hole? For fine cabinetry, I would. After all, the screw is still acting like a wedge to force the wood fibers apart. Drilling a pilot hole removes the excess material, so the screw’s sole function is clamping. #2 Combo Recess. Made in China under US patents.

Comments about 8 x 2 ProMaster Wood Screws, Unplated Steel, Round Washer Head, Combo Drive:

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I have used these screws (including other lengths) to attach metal fixtures to walls and cabinets, some in rather unaccessible corners. The square drive lets you put it on the driver and screw it in one handed. The self-drill eliminates a step, important in confined spaces. The aggressive thread holds well in MDF and particle board, as well as wood. The "washer" head works well in metal plates or other situations where you don't want to use a flat head. Great screw - it has become a staple of my screw box.
