Whether you are building some great looking 2 x 4 furniture or doing a bit of light framing, ProMax™ Optimized Thread Length™ flat head wood screws will make construction easier. The extra long unthreaded shank prevents cross-threading or jacking without the need for a clearance hole, and the 1/8" length system allows use of the longest screw possible without fear of backside protrusion. These Square Drive wood screws have self drilling auger points, self countersinking nibs, and have a light “lube” finish suitable for interior, non-visible applications. Made in the USA/Canada/Taiwan. #2 Square Recess. Unthreaded Length 1-9/16"
ProMax™ Optimized Thread Length™: What It Means and Why You’ll Like It!Deck screws are a good example of Optimized Thread Length. The screws normally used to install 2 x 4’s or 2 x 6’s for decking are 3 inches long and have 1 inch of unthreaded shank. Since 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 deck material is 1-1/2 inches thick, the threads bridge the joint, as shown, resulting in an uneven and unsightly surface, or screws that are over-driven trying to “pull the board down.” ProMax™ screws are different: Thread length is optimized to eliminate crossthreading, and the 1/8” length system allows use of the longest possible screw. In most cases, the smooth shank and self-drilling point allow installation without predrilling! Just select a screw that provides an unthreaded shank length equal to or slightly greater than the material thickness being fastened.

I used the screws to secure a squeaky oak floor and sub-floor to the floor joists, in preparation for a new wood floor installation on top. The squeaks are gone and the floor is noticeably firmer.The Promax flat head screw is almost foolproof to use because of the square bit drive, which provides for a positive, no slip installation. The countersinking nibs work especially well in hard oak. The website is very informative with plenty of technical data to help make the right choice of screw. Also, the support staff emailed back answers to my questions in about 15 minutes! I expected to wait for a day to hear back, so I was very pleased with the support level.The screws are expensive, but the quality engineering that went into the product is well worth the cost. You get what you pay for.
