Deep Thread: Characterized by a reduced diameter shank resulting in a deep thread profile. A single lead thread, meaning that one revolution advances the screw one pitch. (Pitch is equal to 1 divided by the number of threads per inch.. For a screw with 10 threads per in., one revolution will advance the screw 1/1O in. into the wood.)

The deep thread form provides superior resistance to pull-out. This design feature is commonly called a Lo-Root® or Production Screw.

The Type 17 point is not a thread style but can enhance the performance qualities of most thread styles used in the woodworking industry. A slot or notch is cut out at the point of the screw, acting like an auger or drilling tip. The slot carves away the material, thus allowing it to drill itself into most types of wood. In many instances, it can eliminate the need for a pre-drilled hole to relieve splitting. The Type 17 point is excellent for hardwoods, softwoods, particleboard, and especially MDF. These screws are great for outdoor furniture

Stainless Steel: No discussion of corrosion resistance would be complete without mention of stainless steel screws. Although all products corrode sooner or later, stainless steel continues to provide excellent protection. Since the carbon content of stainless steel is quite low, oxidation (rusting) is also quite low. However, since the carbon content is low, the steel cannot be heat-treated to adequate levels. As a result, the screws are soft and break easily when used in wood applications where high levels of torque strength are required. Pre-drilling all screw holes and using larger gauges of screws can compensate for this problem.

The Nickel used in manufacturing Stainless Steel makes them non-magnetic and will not hold a magnetic bit.

Fillister Head is similar to a Pan head but with greater side height. These screws are renowned for their exceptional strength, precision, quality, and durability. Mainly found in Pocket-Hole Screws. In Pockethole screws, the Head is usually undersized by one size to prevent the head from scraping the walls of the Pockethole. This could cause the screw to not go in straight, creating a weak joint.

Square Drive Recess: This recess was invented by P.L. Robertson (founder of Robertson, Inc.) in 1908 and was the first production fastener with an internal recess.
