Product Description
A lot of people think of the pocket hole screw as an after thought, but it should not be. Screw selection is just as important as your selection of the right jig and clamp. The screw stays with the project forever, and the correct screw can make your life a whole lot easier.
The secret to pocket hole joinery is the design of the screw. The flat bottom head is designed to clamp the wood down, not cut through the wood like a tapered head does. Another design feature of the pocket hole screw is that it is only threaded for the portion of the screw that enters into the mating piece of wood, Fully threaded screws tend to push the wood apart slightly, and leave a weaker bond.
The combination of the flat washer head coupled with the threaded portion of the screw allow you to form an incredibly strong joint in a fraction of the time as other methods,
