Ever stood at the bench holding two screws, wondering which one will hold and which one will split the board?
That moment of doubt costs more than time. The wrong fastener can strip out, snap under load, rust outdoors, or crack a piece you spent hours milling.
The right answer usually comes down to details: hardwood or softwood, interior or exterior, thread type, drive style, pilot hole size.
That is where a real conversation helps. The team at McFeely's works with screws, fasteners, and woodworking supplies every day. Ask about square drive versus Torx, pocket hole screws for oak, or which bit matches your screw, and you get a clear answer you can build on.
Prefer to look it up first? The screw size and pilot hole charts at mcfeelys.com are free to use anytime.
