PocketMax Screws Prevent Joint Separation!

With proper pre-drilled depth, Pocket-Max screws will not cross-thread the two pieces being joined. Cross threading can cause the two pieces to separate, forming a poor joint. PocketMax screws are designed so that the unthreaded portion of the screw's shank spans between the pieces being joined.

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 at the tip of the screw, which acts like an auger or drill tip. The slot carves away the material, thus allowing it to self-drill into most types of wood. It can often eliminate the need for a pre-drilled hole to relieve splitting. The Type 17 point is excellent for hardwoods, softwoods, particleboard, and especially MDF.

Developed in a high-production woodworking shop, PocketMax screws combine self-drilling points, deep, sharp threads, and heat-treated hardening, which provides excellent performance in both hard and softwoods.

Torx drive Pockethole Screws are more common in automated applications. If you push the screw in the hole and then look to seat the screw to the driver bit, this works better than Square Drive.
