Fine Thread
Fine thread screws are
recommended for hardwoods as
they reduce the chance of the
material splitting when driven.
Coarse Thread
Due to a signifi cantly larger
thread diameter, coarse thread
screws offer a much stronger
hold in composite materials such
as MDF and plywood.
Self-Tapping
Auger point
eliminates the
need to drill a
pilot hole.
Deep Square Drive
improves driver
engagement and
reduces the
possibility of
cam-out.
