McFeely's PocketMax pocket-hole screws are designed for fast, dependable assembly of woodworking joints. These 8 x 1-1/2 in. pocket-hole screws feature a hardened steel construction, self-drilling Type 17 point, deep sharp threads, Dry Lube finish, and Star/TORX® drive for efficient installation. Developed for high-production woodworking applications, PocketMax screws deliver reliable performance in both hardwoods and softwoods.
When used with the proper pocket-hole depth, PocketMax screws are designed so the unthreaded portion of the shank spans the two pieces being joined. This helps draw the components together without cross-threading the second workpiece, promoting a tight, secure joint and helping reduce the risk of joint separation.
The Type 17 point features a slot at the tip that works like an auger to remove material as the screw advances into the wood. This self-drilling design can reduce the need for pre-drilling and helps minimize splitting during installation. The Type 17 point performs well in hardwoods, softwoods, particleboard, and MDF.
PocketMax screws are heat-treated and tempered for increased strength and resistance to breakage. Deep, sharp threads provide strong engagement in a variety of wood materials, making these screws well suited for cabinet construction, furniture assembly, and other pocket-hole woodworking applications.
The Star/TORX® drive provides secure driver engagement and is particularly useful in automated and high-production woodworking applications. The drive design makes it easier to position the screw on the driver bit before driving, helping streamline repetitive pocket-hole assembly.
The distinctive fillister, or cheese, head is designed to seat neatly at the bottom of a pocket hole. Its compact head profile helps prevent the screw from snagging on the pocket-hole sidewalls, reducing interference during assembly and helping maintain smooth production workflows.
PocketMax 8 x 1-1/2 in. pocket-hole screws are a practical choice for cabinetmakers, furniture builders, woodworkers, and production shops that need strong, consistent pocket-hole connections. The combination of hardened steel, a self-drilling point, Dry Lube finish, sharp threads, and Star/TORX® drive provides efficient installation across a wide range of woodworking projects.
