| McFEELY’S square drive screws are TOUGH! |

Heat-treating makes our screws tough enough to drive into red oak without a pilot hole, tough enough to resist the forces trying to blow apart the driver bit recess as the screw is driven, tough enough to keep the driver bit from stripping out the recess, and tough enough to resist breakage when a load is placed on a screwed joint.

Go into most hardware stores and home centers and the screws you find will be poorly heat-treated, or not heat-treated at all! That’s why it’s so important to drill precisely sized pilot holes for most wood screws. They just can’t take the torque!
