The Hillman Group 5772 Wood Screw, 6 X 1-Inch, 1 inches, No Color
Wood screw is a thread forming screw with sharp thread at a coarse pitch. It is used for directly fastening two wood surfaces. Wood screws have a smooth shank that allows the screw to pull the two pieces of wood together for a tight joint to prevent the wood from pulling or splitting. Wood screws also taper along the threaded portion optimizing the screws holding power in wood. Pre-drilling is recommended.
