Q:do you have to predrill the hole
by|Oct 3, 2022
3 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  If you're working with soft pine, predrilling isn't necessary. But if you're working with harder woods or screwing into the side or edge of piece of wood, it's best to predrill to avoid splitting the wood.

by|Oct 5, 2022

    A:  Pre-drilling depends on your usage. If you want to use the screw to squeeze together the boards then you should drill a hole slightly larger than the screw in the top board. Also, if you are putting the screw near the end of the board you may want to pre-drill to avoid splitting the wood. Otherwise pre-drilling always helps but is not required.

    by|Oct 5, 2022

      A:  We cannot provide suggestions on installation as predrilling depends on the jobs itself.

        Fourth time buying. Have had problems with other brands throwing in some defective ones in that are bent or head not cleanly pressed for #2 Phillips. Every single one was clean! It's great that I don't always need a magnetic tip to use.

        I THREW THEM AWAY. The heads strip, even when I pre-drill, every time! And I'm using soft pine 2x4's. I tried every Phillips head I had on these, bought new Phillips heads, and even tried #2, #3, and Pozidriv bits thinking the package was mis-labeled. These screws are useless!
