FAQs

What is the best material thickness for these screws?

These screws are best suited for materials that are 12 to 19 mm thick.

What type of bit is required?

A No. 2 square drive bit is required.

Can I use these screws on hardwoods?

While usable, coarse thread screws are best suited for softer timbers, plywood, and particle board. Consider fine thread screws for hardwoods.

Why is the head dome-shaped?

The domed screw head stops slippage while driving, giving you extra control and increasing your speed.

How do I prevent the wood from splitting?

Make sure you pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, especially near the edges of your wood pieces. Proper alignment and screw size are also essential.

What is the benefit of the square drive?

The square drive eliminates the issue of rounding of the head, making them consistently easy to install.

What is the zinc coating for?

The zinc coating helps to stop buildups of rust and keeps the joint secure.

Troubleshooting

Screw head strips while driving.

Ensure you are using a No. 2 square drive bit that fits snugly. Apply steady, even pressure while driving and avoid over-torquing.

Joint is not tight.

Check if the screw length is appropriate for the material thickness. Ensure the pieces are properly aligned before driving the screws.

Screw rusts over time.

Ensure the screws are stored in a dry environment and that the zinc coating is not damaged. If exposed to excessive moisture, consider using a sealant on the joint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable zinc coating protects against rust.
  • Square drive eliminates the common problem of stripped screw heads.
  • Coarse threads offer excellent holding power in softer materials.
  • Dome head prevents slippage for easier driving.
  • Specifically designed for pocket hole joinery, simplifying the process.

Cons

  • Requires a No. 2 square drive bit, which may not be a standard tool for all users.
  • Coarse thread may not be ideal for very hard woods.
  • Must select the correct screw length based on material thickness.
  • May require pre-drilling pilot holes in some applications to prevent wood splitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Pocket Holes: Use a pocket hole jig to drill angled holes into one of the wood pieces you intend to join.
  2. Align the Pieces: Position the pieces of wood to be joined, aligning the pocket hole with the face of the other piece.
  3. Drive the Screws: Insert the Trend Pocket Hole Screws through the pocket holes using a No. 2 square drive bit.
  4. Tighten Securely: Drive the screws until the joint is tight and secure, but avoid over-tightening.

Compatibility

  • Bit: Compatible with a No. 2 square drive bit.
  • Material: Suitable for use with softer timbers, plywood, and particle board (12mm-19mm). Consider using other screw types for hardwoods.

Care

  • Storage: Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
  • Handling: Avoid stripping the screw heads by using the correct bit size and applying steady pressure when driving.
  • Inspection: Periodically check joints for tightness, especially in high-use items.
