Promax Screws 8 x 2-1/8 in.es

Whether you are building some great-looking 2 x 4 furniture or doing a bit of light framing, ProMax Optimized Thread Length 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 flat-head wood screws feature self-drilling auger points, self-countersinking nibs, and a light 'lube' finish, making them suitable for interior, non-visible applications. #2 Square Recess. Unthreaded Length

ProMax™ Optimized Thread Length. What It Means and Why You Will Like It!

Deck screws are a good example of Optimized Thread Length. The screws normally used to install 2x4s or 2x6s for decking are 3 in.es long and have a 1-in. unthreaded shank. Since 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 deck material is 1-1/2 in.es 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. The 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 with an unthreaded shank length equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the material being fastened.
