Wood Screws
Premium Wood Screws for Durable and Reliable Woodworking
Wood screws are specialized fasteners designed to hold two pieces of wood securely together in non-structural applications. They feature sharp tips and deep, consistent threads (partial threads are most common) to help pull the wood together. There are several types of wood screws, which are called out by their head shape and drive type. While they are predominantly designed to hold wood or hardware to mating wood material, some screw types are meant for specific materials, like particle board.
Wood screws are engineered not just to join pieces of wood but to enhance the integrity of projects. The sharp point allows for a quick start, and the thread design reduces the likelihood of splitting the wood. The different available head types ensure your screw is compatible with your drill and showcases your desired finished surface. Whether you're assembling cabinets, constructing furniture, or attaching hardware, these screws ensure that your work remains stable and intact over time.

What Are the Best Practices for Installing Wood Screws?
To properly install wood screws, it is important to pre-drill a hole just a bit smaller than the screw diameter to prevent splitting. If you want a stronger grip strength, consider slightly countersinking the screw so it sits flush or just below the surface. As a general rule, ensure you are using a screwdriver or bit that matches the screw head drive to prevent stripping the screw.
