KREG Self Tapping Screws Are Perfect For Your Pocket Joint Projects!

Choose Kreg brand pocket hole screws for their superior holding power, tough construction and innovative features. Unlike basic dry-wall screws with wedge shaped heads prone to splitting wood, Kreg screws feature large flat heads designed to seat firmly in the bottom of the Pocket-Hole. This dramatically improves overall joint strength and prevents the wood from splitting. But the single most important feature of any Kreg screw is its self-tapping tip. This specialized design allows the screw to drill its own hole while being driven, eliminating the need to machine the second workpiece and preventing your wood from splitting.

Kreg Pocket-Hole Screws are Zinc coated which provides good rust protection and makes them an excellent choice for a wide variety of indoor projects that have limited exposure to moisture. The Maxi-Loc Washer Head screws are recommended for the majority of applications in softwood while the Pan Head screws are your choice for hardwood and when using ½” thick stock.
