Review on Kreg Tool Company SML-C2X250-125 Heavy-Duty Pocket Hole Screws - Pack of 125 by James Bartels

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A strong connection is worth the extra cost

When using two materials, HD screws are required. I used a box and a half and made 3 raised mahogany pots. They hold 2x4s and 2x6s securely on a 4x4 rack. Using blind holes instead of simple butt joints and screws may take more time, but it's definitely worth it. Combined with the Kreg HD jig I was able to create a durable product with hidden pocket holes that is just a joy to use. My only concern is that I couldn't find this screw at any hardware store (neither HD nor Lowes). . When I finished assembly, I realized I had miscalculated and was missing about 20 screws. I had to delay the completion of my third planter until I received another set from Revain. Plus $0.14 per screw, that's pretty expensive. A NOTICE. Although the picture shows it has a Phillips head, it is actually a #3 square drill bit. The Kreg HD comes with one, but if it doesn't, you can find the same one here at Amazon Kreg Tool Company D6HD, 6-inch #3 square drive -Screwdriver.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are problems
