Thanks again Kreg! August 21, 2008

These washer head screws are fantastic. They clamp the parts tightly without splitting the wood. They run in fast and easy. Wherever you have a pocket hole application, or wherever you don't mind a visible screw head (not countersunk, although they could be counterbored), use a washer head screw for maximum clamping. Oh, and I haven't broken any off yet, like many other screws.

I use these screws for general wood working as well as with my Kreg jig. They really work well since their flat head does not tend to split the wood like dry wall screws do. Also the course thread gives good "bite" in softer wood.

Perfect for outdoor projects involving 2x4 lumber. I just built the best gate I've ever seen... not a bit of rack in it and the filled pocket-screw holes look perfect. It's almost a shame to paint the gate and hide that great work!
These are the perfect depth/length for 2x4s.
Better projects, really June 12, 2010

I have become a fan of the Kreg system and have used the smaller screw sizes in a couple of projects now.
These longer Blue-Kote screw were ordered for an outdoor project, a little shed to store the stuff that is now scattered all over the place. This was, of course, an outdoor project and is made with 2X4s, so the 2.5" weather resistant screws were selected.
The longer screws are no harder to use than the shorter ones. Despite using an impact driver (which is a very good tool for this fastening system), no screws were broken or stripped. They are obviously high quality. Most of us have used cheap-brand screws that are just are too soft and easily broken.
It remains to be seen how long the screws will last, whether the "Blue-Kote" stands up. I used redwood and pressure-treated wood and they can be tough on metal fasteners, but I have faith that Kreg uses a quality coating.
Also, as a bonus, these screws can be used as surface-mount, non-pocket fasteners, whenever that flat head configuration would be useful. The blue ones would look cool on some projects.
 Good quality and make joining 2x4s and 2x3s a snap August 29, 2009

We have been using these to build our chicken coop door frames and they work great. These screws, along with our drilling fixture, made otherwise difficult joints a snap. To avoid splitting, we learned to pay attention to the wood grain direction on the second piece.
