ProMaster® Plus patented thread design features cutters built right into the thread design. Tiny saw blades are formed into first three to four thread revolutions that cut through wood while displacing a minimum amount of material. By displacing less material than a Type - 17 point the ProMaster thread design offers greater holding power. Our testing shows that it offers 15 percent more holding power than a double Type -17 screw sold by our competitors while eliminating splitting. This new revolution in thread design technology was developed for and is very popular in the furniture and woodworking industry for its ease of driving while offering optimum holding power.

ProMax® screws are optimized Thread Length to prevent Board Jacking. The screws normally used to install 2x4s or 2x6s for decking are 3 in. long and have 1 in. of unthreaded shank. Since 2x4 and 2x6 deck material are 1-1/2 in. thick, the threads bridge the joint, resulting in either uneven and unsightly surface or screws that are over-driven trying to "pull the board down. ProMax screws are different. Thread length is optimized to eliminate cross threading. Plus, the 1/8 in. L system allows the use of the longest possible screw.

PocketMax® screws are heat-treated making our screws tough enough to drive into Red Oak withot a pilot hole (while we don't recommend that), yet tough enough to resist the forces trying to blow apart the driver bit recess as the screw is driven in, tough enough to resist breakage when a load is applied to the joint. They have an oversized Fillister (sometimes called "Cheese") head to minimize crushing in softwoods, extended unthreaded shank to avoid cross threading or board jacking, and have superior holding power to a washer head screw. Go into most hardware stores and home centers and the screws you find will be poorly heat-treated, or not heat-treated at all!

• 60% Less Driving Torque with No Driver Bit Slippage (Easier to drive and eliminates driver bit cam-out)
• 50% Longer Type-17 Cutting Flute Eliminates Splitting (Longer cutting point cuts better and splits less)
• 45% Reduction of Splitting, Cracking & Bursting (Less splitting = more efficient production and less waste)
• 30% Greater Holding Power & Pull-Out Values (Holds and pulls joints tighter together)

 

ProMaster® wood screws are thicker and made of softer metal, making them more snap-resistant than the brittle steel used in drywall screws. They get heat treated for strength, but we suggest you use a pilot hole for most applications like hardwoods to guarantee that your screw won't break off and your wood won't crack. Driving a screw into wood causes friction. This friction results in the screw heating up. This causes flaws in the material. The screw will expand inside of the predrilled hole, that was drilled for the specific size, the screw will seize in the hole. ProMaster® is primarily for connecting wood to wood and are known for the clamping force they provide to strengthen a joint. This is achieved by having 2/3 of the screw threaded with a deep gripping pitch and a smooth shank near the head.

McFeely's Original Pro Screws

FEATURES:

• Heat treated hardened steel for exceptionl strength
• Incredible holding power
• True Robertson® Square Drive - less force required - greatly reduced cam-out (head stripping)
• Flat Head
• Dry lube (Unplated) finish on hardened steel
• Sharp point gets screw started quickly - even without a pilot hole in many materials.

Square Drive Screws offer markedly more resistance to "Cam-Out" (that disaster waiting to happen whereby the screw driver slips out of the screw slot or Phillips recess, and skids merrily across your almost finished masterpiece).

Our Dry Lube finish is a dry to the touch lubricant that offers a reduction in driving torque and a finish that does not interfere with dust collection systems or bleed during the staining process of fine woodworking. McFeely's offers a wide variety in Dry Lube or additional finishs.
