Used these to make a solid walnut bed for my daughter. Only had one break in the whole project. Moral of story: Always drill a pilot hole in strong wood like walnut. :-)

These would be the greatest screws...
These would be the greatest screws I've ever used if it wasn't for 1 thing: they are only available in size 8. I bought a package of them and built a moderately complex shop stand for my omnijig dovetail jig and routers. The fit and finish is great. The square drive is unbeatable and they seem to have no issue without pilot holes. They remind me of kreg screws, only with countersunk flat heads. I am sure #8 is strong enough, but it requires you to drill pilot holes with small bits. I couldn't find long 3/32" drill bits. While I know these are self-tapping, would much prefer to actually drill a proper pilot hole. It's so frustrating that there's a Rockler near me, the price is the same as my local hardware store's inferior screws, but I am stuck with one size. My project turned out great. I just wish have been more comfortable with #10 screws and hate using delicate drill bits.

good screws
very good quality screws. used close to a thousand of them so far. haven't broken one yet. even in hardwood. the split in the screw tip cuts hole in wood and keeps splitting to a minimum.
