Title: Use with Caution
Review: These are well-made screws, and I do use them. I only use them in -very- hard woods, however, as the head is quite a bit smaller in diameter than the washer-head pocket hole screws people are most familiar with. That means two things: it's easier to sink the head into the surface of the wood (not a good thing), and it's easier for the pieces being fastened to work themselves loose. That's not to say these don't have their place. For really hard wood, like teak, the head is more than large enough to hold firmly. And, as a general purpose screw, you can take advantage of the small cylindrical head when you want the smallest diameter countersink hole possible. Bottom line: be careful not to over-drive these.
