Wood screws are designed with aggressive threads to securely grip wood. Commonly used to join 2-pieces of wood tightly together or to attach hinges, locks or other hardware to wood. Using a pilot hole slightly smaller than the wood screw diameter is suggested to prevent splitting.

Answer This Question
A: For the #8 screw, the pilot hole for cedar would be 5/32" if using a tapered bit or 7/64" if using a straight bit. The length of the screw would depend on your application.

A: Hi Camelia - you wouldn't usually use screws to hold cedar slats to an underlaying surface. Typical fasteners are Stainless Steel Siding nails. These have a small round head and a ringed shank for extra holding power. They are made in several lengths and for 1/2 " deep cedar clapboards you would typically use 1 5/8" nails. If the slats you are writing about are strips of wood that you see in a lattice then these screws would not be good fasteners at all except to maybe attach the completed lattice to a porch. Make sure you drill pilot holes in the lattice edge or you will crack the slats. The pilot hole needs to be as large as the shank of the screw.

100-pack was exactly what we needed to build 3 Little Library / Little Pantries
Our Cub Scouts built 3 Little Libraries using 2 sheets of Home Depot’s plywood, and a box of 100 screws! They’re the right length and size for joining 1/2” plywood, plus we glued all our seems to make the Libraries water-tight.

Poor Quality: These Everbilt fasteners are built using a very poor quality metal and cannot even take a few pounds of torque without breaking at the shank/thread junction. Every single screw failed in this manner with very little torque while hand driving into wood before they even bottomed and without seating torque. Never in my over 40 years of wood working have I encountered such poor quality fasteners. Snapping a screw can ruin a fine wood project and hours of work.

Poor quality metal
Based on my repeated use, these screws are manufactured with unsatisfactory quality metal. Even when drilling the correct pilot holes with DeWalt #8 pilot hole drill, they tend to twist-off in the shank area, without any visible deformation/cam-out damage to the heads. At this point, the screw effectively cannot be removed. I had three such failures in a row today. I've included a photo of one screw, the pilot drill and the original container of screws.

It's a screw... it screwed. If you need a screw, you should buy one, or 100 like me!
For the most comprehensive selection of nails and screws, look for Grip-Rite, the most popular brand of fasteners in America. No matter what the project or what size the job; Grip-Rite has the optimal fastening solution. There are many sizes and styles of nails available. As construction materials and techniques evolve, fastener design keeps pace with the Changing technology. Fastener needs vary from project to project and the safety and life expectancy of the project can be extended or compromised based upon the fastener used. Fasteners have been designed to meet the special needs of projects such as roofing or drywall and in many cases are known by the application for which they are intended.
GRK's R4 Self Countersinking screw has 6 self-contained cutting pockets which act like a router and transport the drill dust away from the edge of the screw hole. They also widen the countersink hole only around the head shape. The screw head top closes the hole exactly, leaving no damaged fibers around the wider area of the head. The R4 head design is so effective that it will not crack even the most brittle materials.
