• Kreg SML-C125 1-1/4-Inch No. 2 Coarse Screw (1000-Pack)
• Kreg KJD Replacement Twist Step Drill Bit for Kreg Manual-Pocket Hole Systems

These (and the coarse option SML-C125) are by far the only screws I reach for if they could be accommodated for my work. The square drive prevents any slipping while driving with the correct bit, and the self-tapping works every time, removing the need to pre-drill a pilot hole. These are extremely well-made.

Just plan ahaead a little bit so you dont run out like I sometimes do. These are a great value for the money. Genuine Kreg brand. Just fill up my old box with a couple of hundred and use them for the reserve supply. I can get 1000 with free ship rather than 500 from a home improvement store.

I've used mortise and tenon joinery for most of my furniture to this point, and any DIYer knows how difficult it is to make these joints perfect. And boy am I glad I did. The price is right ($12 for 1000 screws.that's about a penny each). I am in the middle of making a dresser out of solid cherry and poplar, and one of my dust frames (with mortise and tenon joints) ended up twisted and unusable. and even the basic jig is only $30 or $40.

I love the self-tapping screws and pan head. The joints are flush and strong (I still use glue.sorry, I trust Norm Abram). Otherwise, I'm sticking with pocket holes. I'll start by saying I'm a home hobbyist, and my projects are getting more and more complex as I go along. I decided to redo it with pocket hole joinery. It took about 1/10 the time (probably less), and using the jig was so much easier than I was expecting. If you're on the fence about getting one, get one. Well, probably, but only on a through-tenon or one where the joint will be visible.

I had bought a Kreg jig a few months ago but hadn't used it yet. The frame is absolutely perfectly straight. GET IT. Will I ever use mortise and tenons again.

The Kreg SML-F125's are the best "washer head" screws for a high torque glueless situation. So there's no confusion the "SML" are washer head not pan head. Best I've found anywhere.

I haven't used my pocket hole system yet, but I will. You gotta have screws to do the job. What can I say.
