- eropple 3y agoBoards that will not hold a screw? OK, I'll bite. What kind of wood? What fastener? What direction into the wood? How was the wood stored prior to use? Forgive my skepticism, but for wood boards (and not engineered materials being used incorrectly), ones not stored in deeply failure-causing conditions to the point where you wouldn't want to touch them because they'd be gross, this just does not happen.

- ikekkdcjkfke 3y agoAnd I've come across screws that won't hold a board securely. The screws just cracked.. It was only a table and a gate. From now on I test the screws i use for how much it takes to brake in half, and if it bends or just snaps
- rudedogg 3y agoI’ve started to only use GRK screws for things I care about. They’re like twice the price, but it’s not like you go through many screws to do most DIY projects, and how easily they screw into stuff makes it worth it. Check them out, they’re nice.
