8-32 x 1-3/4" Truss Head Break Away Screw (20 per Pack)

I was very happy with these screws. I used them for new cabinet pulls on some older cabinets that were very thick. I simply put the screw into the hole, determined the correct length, used side cutters to score the section that needed to be removed, backed the screw into the hole up to the scored section then used pliers to break it at the desired spot. Worked like a champ!

This is a great concept which is why I bought some, but I have not had much success using them, because they do not break easily. If the portion you wanted to break off was hanging out after assembly, then you could use a pliers to snap it off, but I usually use them in a blind hole in a drawer or door pull. How are you supposed to snap them off without deforming them?Editor's note: using a side cutter to start the crease at the desired segment may be useful before using the pliers to twist off the end.
