Review on πŸ”© Pack of 16 Small Stainless Steel Folding Butt Hinges for Home Furniture Hardware, Piano Cabinets, with 96 Stainless Steel Screws Included by David Everett

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Screws very brittle

When installing my first hinge, 3 screws in a piece of white oak broke. I pre-drilled the holes knowing it was hardwood. I broke off 2 screw heads, drilled a 3rd hole with a larger bit and broke off the 3rd screw. So I got better screws. The hinges seem okay so far, but I have some concerns about durability. My suggestion: If you're working with hardwoods, maybe get better screws, and with softer woods or materials it might be a good idea to use a hand screwdriver.
