Blue-Kote ™ Kreg Pocket Hole Screws feature a three layer high-grade anti-corrosion coating. The first layer is a zinc layer to protect the hardened steel inner screw from corrosive environments. The second layer inactivates the zinc and creates adhesion between the base coat and the Blue-Kote layer. The Blue-Kote layer is a baked ceramic which is electrically/chemically inert, so rust can’t form on the surface. Enough of all that chemical talk, the gist is that the Blue-Kote pocket hole screws are 400% more weather resistant than the “old” Sun-Seal Kreg pocket hole screws and they still have our favorite Square Drive recess for positive bit engagement. Not recommended for ACQ or other pressure treated lumber. Made in Taiwan.

      Comments about 8 x 2-1/2 Kreg Pocket Hole Screws, Blue-Kote, Pan Head, Square Drive:

      Even with interior projects that may be exposed to high humidity, it's worth a little extra cost over just zinc plating.

            I have found one that was the wrong size, and three or four that were malformed--in all those screws. Good product!

              If you have never used the Kreg jig and screws, I highly recommend it. Very strong construction using it. Great for use constructing with 2x4's
